I just started Cymbalta last week and this is the first time in 8 years I've been without pain.
They started me at 30mg, and it made me sick on day 1, then day 2, I was fine (I do take half the prescription--and I feel like a normal person again)
Love the drug, and will go with 15 mg per day as long as I can
When you do start it, be ready for some icky effects, but mine only lasted 1 day....
