"so far this medicine has been working great for me.  not only for my mild depression but also for my joint pain.  i was not aware it was used for this however, told my physician that i was experiencing less joint and muscle pain.  this is when he informed me cymbalta was also used for pain.  i cannot afford $50.00 a month.  i will have to go back to my other medicine, which is less effective for joint pain but the same for depression."
