Hi Linda, I have FM and have been taking Cymbalta for about 5 years now.  I take 60mg. 2 x a day ( 60mg in a.m. and 60mg in p.m.).  It helped somewhat but never fully relieved the pain.  DON"T TAKE LYRICA, the side effects are too serious!   My Dr. started me on Topamax about 6 months ago and it has worked likea miracle!  I started taking 25mg at bedtime and after a couple of months needed to go up to 50mg.  I am the closest to being Fibromyalgia "pain free" I have been in 20 years!!   Good luck!  Eat healthy, exercise, drink plenty of water, green tea, fresh fruits and veggies, NO CANNED FOODS, NO SODAS, CUT CAFFEINE OUT, NO FRIED FOODS, LOW CARB, has also helped.
