I was prescribed Cymbalta 30 mg. for depression about a month ago. Pdoc said it would help w/ms pain as well. Took some time, and now up to 90 mg. daily. Feeling much better and have less severe lower back pain. Cymbalta has been approved for diabetic neuralgia. It helps me w/ms pain as well. Wondering if anyone else is on this antidepressant? Linda

I took Cymbalta for a short time last summer. It seemed to help my pain but I didn't like the side effects. It made me complacent, I'm a chronic worrier so maybe that was a goot thing. But to be honest what I really didn't like was the sexual side effects. To be blunt, I really lost most, if not all interest in sex. I guess that left me more time for other things but maybe if I was on it longer those side effects would have gone away. I was only on it for a month or so.
