I feel lost
I have been suffering chronic pain for 2 years and I am 2 weeks into taking 30mg Cymbalta.
My understanding is 60mg and above is the therapeutic dose for such pain.
i don’t need any negative horror stories I am only to aware of the withdrawal groups etc.
i have been feeling so sluggish and tired, unrested, difficult to focus it‘s only in the last few days that this has made a slight improvement.
What I can’t understand is I thought this medicine would make me feel more confident, energised, less sensitive but I am not getting any benefit neither mentally nor for my pain.
I am also concerned that I am finding it very difficult to diet I am drinking coke eating junk food daily, I have stopped going to the gym, worried about hiking as it (meds) increases your heart rate and blood pressure.
i am also concerned I am having to give up my social life and drinking with friends.
would love to hear from others and their experiences.
