I Was Prescribed Cymbalta For My Transverse Militas. I Had
I was prescribed cymbalta for my transverse militas. I had tried several other drugs with no effect. Cymbalta did work however the side effects such as high weight gain and drinking large amounts of alcohol was becoming a problem.
I discussed this with my specialist and she indicated that cymbalta can cause weight gain and in some cases addition to alcohol if taken over a long time. So i requested to by taken off gradually which I am now cymbalta free for the last 2 weeks.
I am now experiencing pain in my back and tingling in my toes which I believe is the transverse militas.
Can you recommend a drug for this condition which does not cause weight gain or other serious side effects.
