For Those Experienced With Cymbalta, What Are Your Thoughts About It?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
St. Peters, MO

Thanks to the Facebook page "Cymbalta Hurts Worse", more people are able to educate themselves about this drug. Personally, I think it should only be used as a last resort after diet, exercise, safer meds, and treatments have failed.

Serotonin (5-HT) For Pain Management

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Redwood City, CA

Has anyone tried serotonin (5-HT) for pain management? Serotonin is available on line and lots of information in the literature about serotonin playing role in pain modulation. If you have tried it would love to hear from you.

I have tried Kratom, poppy seed tea, CBD oil & MM. Still looking for alternative to pain meds

Thanks!
