Trav, I've been on Cymbalta for a number of years. It worked well up until about 2 years ago and the doc included neurontin. I had taken neurontin many years ago and it worked wonderfully for me (I was being tested at that time for MS and had neurological issues). This time though, I was not able to tolerate the neurontin as well and had to go off it.

This year, the doc started me on Lyrica because I was getting almost no relief from just the Cymbalta. I'm on both meds and together they seem to be working very well for me for the most part. I still have my breakthrough pain and fog and sometimes I get hit really hard, but those times are few and far between from what they used to be. Daily, I'm feeling much better.

I'm on 60mgs of Cymbalta and 100mgs x2 of Lyrica. I'm glad you are finding relief with the Cymbalta. YAY!

Liz, I'm sorry you weren't able to think about taking a warm bath when you really needed it. I am glad you are feeling better today and got some sleep. Hoping the rest of the weekend only gets better for you!
