Jaspar, agreed ... everyone reacts differently and we have to do what is right for US.
Question for you: You said you were taking C-word (Cymbalta, haha) for pain. That's why it was prescribed for me -- back/leg pain due to compressed nerves. As I mentioned, I only took it 3 weeks before I couldn't stand the dry mouth and sore tongue anymore. And I still had pain -- not horrible pain, but enough that I didn't think it was worth it staying on C-word and putting up with the sides. But maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance or high enough of a dose to see whether it could've worked for the pain. Just curious as to whether it relieved your pain while you were on it. I felt my doctor was disappointed I was going off it. He now has prescribed Pamelor, which I'm now deathly afraid to try, given my experience with C-word withdrawal. I also believe it's similar to amitryptiline, which made me too much of a zombie.
