I was on cymbalta for depression before my bp dx. I recall feeling ok-ish. Then my bp dx came and I tried lamictal for a couple months then got pissed off and quit everything cold turkey. Worst withdrawals ever from cymbalta. I started researching it and found that it can cause permanent nerve damage among many other negatives. I don't get why they "treat" nerve problems with a med that "cause" nerve damage.

So up to you, if the benefits outweigh the risks. Hope you will be ok.
