Has Anyone Ever Tried Cymbalta For Pain??? I'm Very Reluctant To Try It.
A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

I went to my Dr to let her know that the Celexa she gave me us not working, I'm still in constant daily pain.... Instead of trying Lyrica or Gabapentin she prescribed Cymbalta.... 😟😞

It helped for a little while but LDN works best.

Anyone Have Experience With Cymbalta?
A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doc wants to switch me to Cymbalta bc it doesn’t interact with Amitriptyline (sp?) and other meds. Yet, I have been doing so well on my Effexor, I hate to try an unknown drug, especially having so many reactions to meds.
So, I was wondering if anyone could share the good, bad, and/or ugly experiences they have had with it.
Thank you!!!

Antidepressants For Pain?
A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone know of any good antidepressants that can also help with joint pain, neuropathy, and hot "flashes"/burning sensations? The only two that come into mind that I can think of are Cymbalta and Effexor. I'm thinking of asking my doctor about Cymbalta, but I'd like to know if anyone has either tried that one or know of any others. And what side effects, if any, do you experience (weight changes, fatigue, dizziness/confusion, hair loss, etc)
Also, which ones(s) is best for extreme panic attacks… read more

Easy Random Bruising
A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi gang,
Discovered several small bruises on my body today. They are not in the high traffic typical areas. I have 4 on the underside of my right forearm and a few more on my left upper thigh. I have been ill the last couple weeks and thought it was a flare but all of my recent labs appear stable, the only noticeable change is that I started Cymbalta 2 weeks ago.
Anyone deal with this?

A MyLupusTeam Member

@jean5236 I’ve got them down the back of both lower legs (for three plus years). Not on prednisone or other lupus meds and they started before hydroxychloroquine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Who Else Has Painful Foot Neuropathy From The Lupus?

What medication do you take? Does the medication stop the foot neuropathy from further damage?

Has Anyone Taken Tizanidine For Their Lupus Or Fibromyalgia?
A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was prescribed Tizanidine for my Lupus and Fibromyalgia symptoms along with effexor. Does anyone else take these? Do they work? Side effects? I haven't started them yet and I'm looking for opinions. I have a very hard time going to sleep and staying asleep. It's causing a great amount of stress and depression.

A MyLupusTeam Member

I would love to hear how this works for you!

Anxiety Meds
A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone been taking Agomelatine? I've been switched to this from Xanax to help with depression and anxiety and I'm not familiar with this drug. Google isn't giving much and I'd rather hear person's responses rather than studies data
