I have been on duloxetine for about a year. I have multiple sclerosis and it helps with the burning sensations I get all over. Like being burned with an iron that never stops burning. The duloxetine did not take it away completely, but it made it much more tolerable.

I'm glad it's helping Christine out, but unless it absolutely is a last resort, and actually makes a huge, positive difference, STAY AWAY!

This is a nasty, far too readily prescribed drug, and many thousands of people have had seriously awful side effects, the worst coming when they've tried to stop taking this stuff....
I'd advise doing a little googling, about Cymbalta side effects, as there are entire websites full of people very sorry they ever saw this drug....
