Can Cymbalta Be Taken For The Treatment Of Nerve Pain?

Hi I have been dealing with nerve pain for years. I am considering Cymbalta next. Do you know if tinnitus is a common side effect? And, is there a truly comparable generic available? Thank you. You should tell people this costs money sooner. I give up now. A general family doctor...well, best of luck to you tonight.
