Anyone have any experience with Cymbalta and Fibromyalgia treatment?

1. I have experience with Cymbalta but not Fibromyalgia meds. I take the cymbalta for depression...it seems to help a little...sorry I coudln't be much help to you.2. I'm not familiar with Cymbalta, but I take Lyrica for my fibromyalgia. I've been taking it for 3 years and it really helps with this neverending pain. Your doctor would be the best to advise you of any interactions between the two. Good luck.
3. Both drugs are whitewash type of drugs, they dont fix the disease just cover the symptoms, please read http://www.cidpusa.org

4. I was diagnosed about 1 yr ago. I'm 32. I'm on Cymbalta. I was on Lyrica and it didn't help much but I've heard several people say they liked it. Lyrica made me gain weight which didn't help my condition. I also go to physical therapy 2 times a week and it helps a little. They teach me stretches, a few strengthening exercises and do massage. They also have a hydro-bed which is very nice. The main thing I have learned that helps is to get as much rest as you can. I have 2 kids so it's not easy but it's essential. I wear comfy shoes and try to stay somewhat active but don't push myself too hard or I'll flare. My rheumatologist suggested yoga which I plan to try. I hope some of this helps. I know it's frustrating but just know you aren't alone.
