I don't know anything about cymbalta other than what I've read which is to stay away from it. Here's a link, if you find out how it works, then you can figure something out. Just keep in mind that some of these new drugs will knock you for a loop.lol Maybe someone else can tell you their experience on cymbalta without the methadone and you can improvise accordingly. good luck

Yep we are in a class together allright! The class for "bad choices in life for many years" About the cymbalta, is there something to use to taper off it? I figure that if I can have this methadone monkey on my back that surely I can handle the cymbalta, what do you think Fret??
Yes Annie, thks for the warning about the methadone, but unfortunately I have been on and off for 30 yrs. You are so very right about the withdrawals, that is why I have so much time spent on it. Scared to death of the withdrawal, but in its defense, for addicts with a long history of drug addiction it can be a lifesaver. WE are able to live a normal life with a normal job but not crave the effects of the harmful drugs. It has helped me do just that then I find out I have hepatitis C that has been dormant for at least 15 years because it has been that long since IV drug use. Please continue to warn young users it is not for them. I am having terrible pain with Fibromyalgia that goes along with hep c for some. And also mild depression on the scare of a disease that could kill me after the drug use did not!
Yes, I know all about methadone, but thx for letting others know. I was joking when I said we were in a special class. smile
I don't know about Cymbalta, but I've heard people have a hard time getting off methadone. I knew this one guy who did it. It took him 2 years and he was scared to death he wouldn't be able to do it because of the withdrawals.
Yes you can take cymbalta with methadone, but I've heard that some ppl have a hard time getting off of cymbalta. I don't know anything about kidney problems with HepC other than they do exists sometimes. Maybe someone else will chime in for you. Just so you know, I really think I'm the only regular poster who takes methadone so we are in a special class.lol good luck
