I have officially returned to Cymbalta after stopping it cold turkey (Neuro said no problem) and after 5 days having the banding and pins and needles go off the chart...I returned to the Cymbalta and I now feel myself again (not good...but at least the same as before). Therefore when a Dr. tells you that Cymbalta & Lyrica do the same thing and therefore there is no need to take both....I say..NUTS.....the combo does work.....maybe it is time for many if not all neuro's to admit how little they know about TM.
