 I thought I had restless leg syndrome, the burning and spasms, deep muscle pain etc worse at night. My pain doctor treated me for nerve pain with CYMBALTA. Please, please ask your doctor. I only take it at bedtime, I can't describe the relief it gives me. I so much hope this treatment could help one of you. Good luck

 I took the Cymbalta for a month. I had to discontinue Effexor XR before I started it. The Cymbalta does not work for me the way the Effexor does. I was cranky and in tears a lot. I will say it did help my pain but I felt that I was walking around in a deeper daze (worse than Fibro Fog) and it affected my speech. It was hard to form sentences. I have frequently had weird reactions/side effects from new medications.
My disabling chronic illness is more real than your imaginary medical expertise.

 I also take Cymbalta at night. I started out taking the medication (slipped my mind) for restless leg as well then my Pdr switched me to Cymbalta and now I only have to take that at night. No more restless leg. Don't get me wrong I still have other pain and problems but not RLS.

 I had tried Mirapex and ot worked but I felt awful. I recently was told to try a calcium/magnesium supplement and I am gettin relief and I sleep better. It took a little time to work, but Iwould rather be on vitamins than a heavy drug. Also there is research being done on RLS and iron deficiency as well as B12.
