How Long Does It Take For Cymbalta To Get In Your System?
I've been on 30 mg. of Cymbalta 1 a day for 10 days now & see no improvement. Does anybody know how long it usually takes?
Hi everyone! I’m so sorry I haven’t been on here sooner! Please try not to be on Cymbalta long. I cannot stress this enough. It is hell getting off of it! I’m going through the weening process right… read more
Amitriptyline, Cymbalta Or Gabapentin?
Wondering if anyone has had any experience with amitriptyline, cymbalta or gabapentin? Met with my endo specialist and due to my depression and daily pain/flare up, he suggested trying one of these. I’ve done some research elsewhere on these meds, but want to hear from my endo community directly. I had my second ablation surgery this past January, but finally found someone in my area (upstate NY) who does excision! Scheduled for September, a light at the end of the tunnel!
I have tried all 3. From my experience Amitriptyline made me more sick, Gabapentin had minimal effects and Cymbalta helped a bit more.
Has Anyone Been On Cymbalta?
One dr. wants me to try Cymbalta & I was wondering if anyone has taken it & what kind of side effects did you have? I'm afraid of new pills. I need one that doesn't make you gain weight or give you constipation. It is probably impossible to find one.

I'm on the 30 mg & it has been 8 days & no relief. I have pain in all different directions. When I go back for my follow up I will ask if she thinks I should increase it… read more
Leg/hip Pain Remedies? Experience With Cymbalta?
I've had sciatic type pain for ten years, only partially responsive to chiro/PT. Massage, heat/ice alternating, and LOTS of ibu used to help somewhat. Now it is becoming debilitating. I think endo might be culprit, but can't see excision specialist for consult until May, so surgery wouldn't be until even further out. Any suggestions? Has anyone used cymbalta/duloxetine for this kind of pain with any success?

Vaginal Bleeding After Bowel Movement
I was increased to 60mg of Cymbalta every other day a couple weeks ago and I started to bleed, they told me to to back to 30mg until it subsided but I've continued to bleed since (for 2 weeks). It had stopped for a day and then I had a flexible sigmoidoscopy yesterday and instantly started gushing blood from my vagina. It stopped but now anytime I have a bowel movement I gush blood again. Help! Xox
@A MyEndometriosisTeam Member you really have it coming from all angles don't you? I have those conditions as well and, while we all experience them differently, I know it's a hard combination to… read more
Has Anyone Tried The Nerve Med Lyrica (pregabalin)? If So Did It Work For You? Side Effects?
My endometriosis expert wants me to try a new nerve medication called Lyrica (pregabalin). If you've tried this, did it help with your pain? My most severe pain is actually in my sacroiliac joint & the muscles & ligaments around the joint. It's specifically for nerve damage from spinal cord injuries (I have a herniated disc & either pinched or entrapped sacral nerves).
Since my flight from Hawaii to Portland for my surgery I've been having stabbing pain in my SI joint as well as spasms in my… read more

Referral To Pain Management Clinic---opioid Use
Hi. I have had a partial hysterectomy, laparoscopy with and. and endo removal. I am still in great pain. I have tried my best to avoid controlled substances but want to have some kind of a life other than sitting with a heating pad and suffering the entire time I grit my teeth through playing with my child. I was referred by my OBGYN to a pain clinic in Kansas City (where I reside). They told me they do not see/treat endometriosis patients. My PCP is now referring me to another one. Has… read more
You might look into a doctor who deals with chronic pain. Often they have a better understanding of pain, it's sources and individual effects, and alternatives to opioid pain relievers such as… read more
