Question : My doctor prescribe me with cymbalta. I just take 30 mg. for 4 days. The side efects were horrible. I was shaking, have nausea. I felt like I was in another place. I stop taking it. What is best for the pain? I am taking oxicocet but it does not work anymore. I had a car accident a year ago. Now I am taking 4 a day. 1 after breakfast, 1 after lunch, 1 after supper, and, 1 at 9p.m. They don't work. As soon as I take the first one I feel the pain after 2 1/2 hours but I wait until after lunch. I do not know what to do!!! Help me please.
Thank you
