Cymbalta contains the active ingredient Duloxetine, it is an antidepressant that has also been known to help with some types of pain.

Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, high blood pressure, heartburn.

As NAC stated, you should also be checked for glaucoma, before starting this medication.

Have you started taking it, yet?

I don't know how old you are, but my doctor wants me to start Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia pain. BUT since I possibly could have Glaucoma, I can't start taking it as it will cause me to go blind if I have one of the two kinds of Glaucoma, which is wet or dry type. I will have a better diagnosis in October...but just make sure you have your eyes checked before taking Cymbalta!!!
