Thanks so much :) I take other pain meds but they are not an everyday all the time thing! So that's great to see :)

Hi Kathie:

I take Cymbalta 60 mg at nighttime.  I take the capsule apart and take it with a spoonful of chocolate no sugar added pudding.  Seems to work the same now as it did before surgery.

I do still crush or chew all my meds and I'm 2 years out, just something I believe in.

That's the same dose I take and good to hear it's the one I was worried about:) 

I take cymbalta 60 mg. Today is my surgiversary, down 95 lbs and quite close to goal. I still to this day pull apart the capsule and sprinkle it onto my tongue. I dont want that feeling that a capsule is glued inside my throat as they sometimes can do that due to the nature of a capsule. 

Happy surgaversary!!! Great job on your wl! An almost being at goal;)
