thank you to all who have welcomed me here ...im due to start another new drug again soon...im being weaned off some at the moment...ive tried nearly all that there is lol ....has anyone been on or is taking duloxetine? this is one of the new drugs im going to be starting on the other one is pregabalin ....just wondered if anyone has been given these and if they have have worked ...ive tried gabapentin that didnt work at all im still taking amitripyline but im having trouble sleeping....im trying to keep my depressson at bay not finding it easy as im going through a seperation ....great time for my husband to leave but got to carry on the best i can....thanks again for forums like this xx
the ones you mentioned are generic for cymbalta, lyrica, neuontin and elavil which,many folks on this site and hopefully you will get a lot of feedback here,,, my opinion is that there is 'no one size fits all' and you may have to see what will work best for you, all the best!!!!!!! HUGGGGGGGGGGS

thank you for all your input :) im afraid gabapentin didnt do anything for me at all.....because i have arthritus as well i was put on zomorph and because doctors didnt understand or even knew what fibromyalgia is i ended up on 260mgs of morphine daily which wasnt doing me any good so over the past 6 months ive been weaning myself( with my doctors backing) off the morphine im now on 60mgs daily and will be cutting it out completly by the end of the year (withdrawl symtems coming off have been awful) so apart from the morphine i only take paracetamols and the amitriptyline (50mgs) was on higher but cutting them down too .....im not looking forward to starting new drugs as i find the withdrawl symtems worse than anything else ....will just have to see what happens when i start these new drugs...thanks again xxxx
