Yes, the side effects are awful, but well worth tolerating to be able to move and walk again. Heck, we get many of those side-effects as regular symptoms of FMS anyway lol My only complaint, is the cost. Even at a discount, I was paying $150 a month for it, with no insurance. I can't wait for a Generic version to come out in a couple years! I don’t know about anyone else, but Cymbalta did wonders for my Fibromyalgia.
