> I've taken 15 mg lexapro for about a month, and will see a cfids/fm doctor in a few weeks. I was unable to tolerate cymbalta at full dose, but maybe a low dose is tolerable. The pain relief it provided was magnificent.I could not find any dose-finding studies of Cymbalta (duloxetine) when it is used in the treatment of pain syndromes. However, there is evidence of its effectiveness at 20 mg/day.

For all we know, 5 mg/day might be effective.
Experiment?
