Any One On Duloxetine For Chronic Pain, Such As Musculoskeletal Pain, Like Fibromyalgia?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Burlington, VT

I have fibromyalgia along with other conditions all causing chronic pain. I’m on a high dose of Gabapentin daily which I feel works well for the severity of it all but doesn’t seem to do anything for muscle weakness or stiffness and my PCP wants me to start taking duloxetin. I’m afraid of taking more meds though, especially when the long term effects of duloxetine are unknown. Is it worth it?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member

I never ruminated this badly before I had chronic pain. I wonder if it is the brain’s way of ignoring the pain by focusing on something else… Just a guess.
