Cymbalta is a very good anti-depressant, and should help some with pain and

maybe sleep. You might try taking it in the morning as it can give you

energy which might make it more difficult to sleep. Like any anti-d, it

takes a couple weeks to build up in your system. I don't understand why he

stopped the Lyrica. I would think you could take both. Check with your RH.

Sounds like the left hand doesn't know what the right one is up to.
