Christia, recently had a failed trial of cymbalta for double-duty AD & chronic pain. Impacted sleep greatly, negatively affected depression, and gave me intractable GI issues. (I hung on for about 8 weeks to wrangle the GI issue because it reduced the *other* pain so successfully.)
My dreaming and sleep altered quite a bit, though; more than pristiq. I, too, wonder about a med that disrupts the stages of sleep in which the body repairs
tissues, including nerves....So, no less pain now, but maybe, deep sleep/health deficit down the road? Medications can prompt some difficult decisions.
