I agree with Terry, on the side effects. I initally couldn't tell that Lyrica was doing anything for me. I went on and off of it several times, just because I was sick of spending tons of money on prescriptions. I then had my dose increased and that is when I felt a benefit. The Cymbalta initally took ALL of my pain away. I was in therapy at the time and think that they did something to me, because it came back with vengance. I had got down to 1 vicodin a day; but had to go back up. When I started with my new pain dr. he doubled my cymbalta and lyrica. The first day I took both together and it was like I was high on something. I couldn't talk, and passed out for 5 hours. I now take half the dose at night and half in the morning and don't seem to have any side effects (oh, I can take them at the same time now)
HTH,
Kathy
