So the brain fog got better too? Sign me up for Cymbalta
Oh! Speaking of brain fog, mine was horrible! Cymbalta also helped with that once the side effects wore off! My memory is awful, so I still have some, just not as bad. I just wanted to add that since you reminded me 😂
Thank you so much for answering. I was leaning towards going on it, especially with seasonal depression soon on its way. Two RA drs. One says seronegative RA, one says possible RA stay on the methotrexate and add Cymbalta. I just want the head to stop giving the pain, I think I can handle a week of brain fog. Thank you and good luck with your health journey.
Hello Micky! I take cymbalta. It does help me with depression, but not pain and anxiety. My anxiety isn't terrible, so that's fine. It did absolutely zero for pain and fatigue. I have talked to other folks who had a great decrease in pain, however. You won't know if it will help you until you try it. I'm perfectly happy with it just controlling my depression, as that was getting pretty bad. I was scared to take it because of all the things that it can cause, but the side effects that I did have went away in a couple of weeks. I mostly felt like my head was in a fish bowl. Pretty spacy and felt like I wasn't looking through my own eyes if that makes sense. It was only really bad for about 5 days, then slowly went away completely. I hope this helps! Take care of yourself!
Cymbalta (duloxetine) is actually an interesting option for people with RA, and your doctor is onto something worth considering! It works as a neuromodulator, meaning it helps reduce pain signals by adjusting the levels of chemical messengers like serotonin and norepinephrine between nerves.
