Hi Candy,
I was taken off another one (can't remember which one now) and put on cymbalta a few years ago and I loved it, its been so long now that I can't really remember why except that it helped my depression a lot and some of my pain. I preached its praises for a very long time but like everything else I don't remember why...
I think we are all different when it comes to meds as we do with our MS...so I would give it a shot.

I was on Cymbalta for 3 years and didn't get any help from it. It's a #*$&%^ bear to wean off of, despite that its not a narcotic. My insurance finally would not pay for it anymore and my doctor wouldn't let me switch, so went off of it.
But that's not to say that it doesn't help other people, just my personal observation. I had been on two other anti-depressants at the time. I now take none, as I went off of all at the same time, thoroughly disappointed at the time with the medical community!
I doubt it will affect your MS medication but just an opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Candy,
I was on cymbalta for pain a while back. It worked great for me but I got headaches on a daily basis so my neuro took me off of it. I loved it for the pain though.
The meds wont interfere with your injections. Your neuro has a list of all your meds and I am sure he/she is making sure that the combinations are safe.
It is crazy all the meds we end up taking.
