Talking Re: Cymbalta

Does anyone have problems with either a breaking out or blister type lesions from taking Cymbalta or Lyrica?? I have been on both of these medications and have had acne type lesions for the past 2-3 weeks and not sure why or which medication is causing this. Has anyone out there experienced any of these problems?? I take both of these meds for chronic back pain and have tried to decrease the Lyrica to see if that will help but my pain increases greatly. I would appreciate any feedback you might have. Thanks!!
I definitely would try the Cymbalta. It does seem to help with drepression and has helped with pain as well which definitely can cause lots of depression if you have chronic pain.

Re: Cymbalta

HI,
I am new here, but have been taking 30mg of Cymbalta for 2 weeks, then doc increased it to 60mg a few days ago. I called the Pharmacist, because I am very tired, and feel sort of "itchy" keep putting lotion on, my skin feels super-sensitive, and I have a bad headache. The Pharmacist said that is normal, when increasing meds, and to give it about 5 more days, I also am on *****n at night, 10mg. and xanex 0.25 prn. I am not sure if its the *****n or the Cymbalta, but I have wild nightmares, so bad that I have had my husband hide my car keys, and we set the alarm on the door, so it will beep if I try to go outside. Told the pharmacist about it too, he said its probly the *****n, but if I dont take it I cant get any sleep, due to pain from fibro and depression. is anyone else having such a hard time? I took lexapro for years, but it finally dident work anymore, its like my body gets too used to meds and I have to switch. I am glad I can come here and read about other peoples issues, makes me feel not so lonely. thanks to all. Alicia in Iowa
