I could be way off on this one - but 'cymbalta' made me VERY sick, sick, sick, to my stomach to where I could not even make it one week on the stuff. I vomitted repeatedly and took myself off of it. I know that different meds are good and bad for dif patients and thsi doc meant well, but I never made it to give trial on this one. Neurontin did well for leg nerve pain but I gained weight on it. Topamax did well, (does well, I am still on it) But my vision suffers from it) Thanks for allowing me to add to this post. I have been very quiet lately. I went back to work after 6 years of very harsh struggles and has been hard. Take care
