My doctor is wanting to put me on Cymbalta for my back pain.  It is time released.   I told her I did not think it would work because of that. 

Does anyone here take it post DS?  Does it work for you?  Know I could just try it, but wanted to check with my "peeps" before I wasted my time/money.   Thanks in advance!

I took it before the DS, but after the DS I did have to double the dose and take half with my morning vits and half with my late afternoon/dinner dose and that has worked great.

Our system is not designed for time released medications--too short to absorb anything time released.
