   I have Fibromyalgia and I have taken every medication recommended for the treatment of Fibromyalgia including Cymbalta. The only thing it did for me was help me sleep better. I did not find that my pain lessened. I have tried a wide variety of the anti depressant medications for Serotonin uptake and they do help you sleep. If you have severe problems sleeping I would recommend you take this medication.

   I have written an article on Fibromyalgia and I give practical advice about what you can do to help yourself with this condition. I’m enclosing the link were you can read about it.

   If you have any further questions please let me know.

   First of all I want to let you know that most of the people I know who are or have taken Cymbalta have had pretty good experiences with it. I on the other hand became severely depressed and even suicidal on it. It seems like this is a very rare side effect but if you start to feel depressed when you first start taking it, be sure to let your doctor know right away. I am by no means trying to defer you away from it or scare you but I just want you to know that this is a small possibility just so you can watch out for the signs. Good luck and I hope it works out for you like it does for most people.
