[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 282117, member: 1233"] It may be worth giving Cymbalta a chance. Both my rheumy and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good medication to try. It didn't make things worse. It actually didn't seem to do anything. I took it for 10 weeks with no change in how I felt. I do have problems with my feet. It is psoriasis, but there is also "fibro related" nerve pain (neuropathy). Lyrica has been a total miracle medication for me. I no longer feel like I am walking on cacti with lots of long needles, or that I am walking on glass shards. I spent at least 15 years with that feeling. With the lyrica I still need an antidepressant. I have tried most of the SSRIs and SNRIs. Also the other kinds. I keep returning to prozac. It is the one that works for me. (If prozac isn't "enough" but is helping some you might want to try luvox. My psychiatrist calls it prozac on 'roids because it is very close to prozac but is more effective. Wiz does amazingly well on it.) I do get leg swelling sometimes with the Lyrica. But it goes away with-in a few days if I keep my legs up. I hope you feel better very soon. [/QUOTE]
