Hi Yes I have been taking both for a while now,

started the Lyrica about 8 months ago, does wonders for me!

and still had issues with fatigue and and just not feeling like myself so then started cymbalta, 4 months after the other...

I was also taking way to much motrin turned into a habit with all the meds,

so last time I seen the doc he gave me mobic and said no more motrin and see how this works,the mobic is like a motrin, its great with all these 3 together my pain level is at a 2 , big change from a month a go,

so as we always say what works for one may not work for another so I wish you luck and hope it work for you,

it took a while for the lyrica to get into my system,

so give it time most people dont wait it out,

my doc after 2 months said it takes time, cause i felt like i was all over the place and now i feel sooo much better!

keep me posted

Jamie

I used to be on these two along with Skelaxin and Celebrex. I must say that I think they were helping me with pain but I was getting some nasty side effects...horrible spinning/dizziness, dry mouth, drowziness, etc. Oh - I also started experiencing a flatness in my emotions from the Cymbalta (50mg). So, I was weaned off the Lyrica first then the Cymbalta. The weaning process was horrible ~ had terrible withdrawl effects and the pain went thru the roof!

Please understand though, I am only one person that had this problem. I seem to be pretty sensitive to meds. Everyone is different, so I hope that you have good luck with the combo of meds you are on. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! PM me any time if you want. Keep us updated on how you are doing.
