Does anyone have experience taking Cymbalta? What are you taking it for and is it working?
Thanks for any help,

Cymbalta is great stuff--it is a very effective anti-depressant and helps with nerve pain. I found it really help my headaches.  The only reason I'm not on it now is because I reached my prescription drug coverage cap with non-generics and I had to make a choice between it and Topamax--could not afford both.  You have to titrate up on it and can't stop taking it suddenly either.

I am finally on Cymbalta, after trying and failing with every other anti depressant.  I take 100 MG of it 200 MG Topomax and the headaches are doing much better and I shake a lot but my depression is better than it has been and I don't cry at the drop of a hat.  I like the numb feeling...........................
