Can Cymbalta Taken For Fibromyalgia Cause Fatigue Despite Using A Sleep Apnea Machine?
I feel tired or exhaused all the time, no matter how much sleep I get. I am on the generac for Cymbaulta for Fibromyalgia, could this be the reason? I am on a sleep apenia machine and my doctor for that says there is nothing more he can do to help me so it is not that I am not getting sleep. I am also on hormone medicine that helps me sleep. I have had my throyd checked several times.

Hello,
Cymbalta (Duloxetine), an antidepressant is used for the treatment of fibromyalgia. For patients whose pain is associated with fatigue, anxiety, or depression, drugs that have both analgesic and antidepressant /anxiolytic effects, such as Duloxetine may be the best first choice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
