cymbalta leg pain

cymbalta leg pain

I have been taking cymbalta for about 10 months. First 30mg, 60mg and now back to 30mg because i was sleeping all the time. I am still sleeping all the time though. About two months ago I began to have horrible pain in my legs that would wake my up crying. It progressed to cramps in different areas of my legs, pain in my knees and my legs fall asleep very quickly if i don't move them every few minutes. I have no health insurance and don't want to pay and hear the doctor tell me I'm crazy. Can you please tell me what is going on?  Thank you♥

Anti-depressants often interfere with magnesium absorption.  I would try taking a 1:1 or 2:1 magnesium citrate to calcium citrate supplement.  Solaray and Bluebonnet make them.  I've had cramps from every anti-depressant I've been on, and the magnesium has helped.  It's best taken at night for this purpose.  Good luck.
