In reply to Neurontin, Lyrica, and/or Cymbalta, posted by fairywings on June 25, 2006, at 8:32:39
Do you have concurrent anxiety/depression issues along with the myofascial pain? And do you have fibromyalgia tender points also?
As Cymbalta has both SSRI and NRI effects, if you've had problems with Strattera, my guess is that Cymbalta would not be a good choice. Have you tried an SSRI? What effect did it have?
Wellbutrin works on both norepinephrine and dopamine, so the NRI aspect of Cymbalta might be a problem.
I have myofascial pain along with fibromyalgia and I have yet to find a medication that helps with the myofascial issues.
Lyrica continues to be of help for sleep, but pooped out the way Neurontin did for muscle relaxation.
Do you get many side effects from drugs and are you sensitive to doses?
