They are both chronic pain anti-depressants drugs, both work on two different channels.  You don't know how it will effect you if you don't try...

These two drugs are totally different.  They work in different ways.  I would suggest calling your doc or a local hospital pharmacy to explain.  If it gets to bad have you doc paged.  That is what they get paid for.  Have you ever been on cymbalta before?
