Hi All, I'm new to this group.

Hi ya'll, I'm Hinky and I've had Fibro for about 15-17 years. I had

been on Elavil & Flexrl for ever it seems. It really didn't do much for

me as I stayed in pain from morning till night. Well, I was just

diagnoised with Long QT syndrom ( you may or may not have heard of it)

anyway there are certain drugs I can't have well, elavil was one of

them!! The have put me on cymbalta and I've been taking it for about a

month now and I can't believe the difference it has made in my pain

level!!!! I really haven't had any side effects either. Has anyone in

this group taken this and does it keep working after you've been on it

for a long time??? I saw a Neroligist, and he's the one who put me on

it. Please give me any insight on this medicene that you can, thanks

so much ya'll Hinky

Hi ,

Thanks for the welcome.

As to your question on what is long Qt.... Well, it's heart

arrhythmia problem. You may have heard of it referred to as instant

death arrhythmia,. I'm sure you have heard about those football

players in high school that just drop dead on the field? Well their

hearts just stop. That's what happens to people that have a long Qt

interval in the heart rhythm's. some have it worse than others and

have to have a defibrillator implanted in them. I don't have one of

those but there are many, many drugs that we Long Qt'ers cant have.

It VERY important that we NEVER get them as they can bring on an

attack.... so Elavil was one of them and off of it I came. Most

antidepressants are on the list but Cymbalta was not so that's why

they put me on it. I have been on it for a month and had an EKG do 2

weeks ago and my Qt intervals have not been effected. I'm also on

meds. for the QT. I'm a walking mess....LOL But I'm still smiling
