| Hi, Angela - I haven't tried it yet but been discussing it with my docs. I'm in the same boat with the Neurontin not working so hot anymore. So hopefully someone with some experience will be able to tell both of us more about it. |

| I have not had good results with either both of those and including cymbalta made me so sick... guess my system can't tolerate that drug family... going back to dr today I cant find a rheumy that is taking new patients or that will take my insurance so not sure what I am going to do. This dr is not real good but the only one in my network. |
