Hi dear, I am on cymbalta and tramadol and they are a good combo for me. On days when I am stressed I have to mix the combo up and add some percocet as well. I hope this does fine for you. Let me know if you need any advice.

It seems to be a good combo for me most the time...I'm on 60 mg of cymbalta and then the tramadol 2 tablets every 6 hours as needed...which is most the time...and I'm also on gabapentin twice a day...I did find I had to give it a bit of time before it was really helping though...i've accidentally missed a dose of the cymbalta twice...and going back on it the next day without tapering up was not fun...so i just make sure it's always with me in case i'm not home when it's time to take it....i hope the combo works well for you....

I'm ok on it now...but it did take a little bit for me to adjust to it....I was tired a lot at first...and just felt out of it for a bit...but, after a few weeks I adjusted ok to it...my biggest problem seems to be building up a resistance to it and we've had to up the dosage a couple times now to find a good one for me...what kind of problems are you having?...my best friend was on it and after a few weeks of feeling like crud she discovered she was having an odd allergic reaction to it....

Hi, I am new to all, but I have fibro real bad, and am waiting for my approval for my surgery. I took Lyrica and gained 50 lbs in just 4 months. Had to come off that. I just started Cymbalta, and am tapering off Wellbutrin and Effexor. But I also take Gabpentin twice a day, and also Topamax, lasix plus torsimide. I take loratab 7's at night and methocarbonal and amitripilene to sleep, and I am still about a level 6 or 7 in pain. I had back surgery last June and Hiatel hernia surgery in 2007 which knocked me out of lapband, so I am having the bypass surgery. If anyone lives in Alabama and has used Dr. Scott Pennington out of Birmingham, contact me please, he is the surgeon I will be using. I hope you good luck with your journey on meds.
