question: I have chronic pain from MS. My doctor prescribed Cymbalta, but after reading the long list of side effects I really dont want to take it. Im supposed to meet with him this week. Is there an alternative medicine you can think of for me to ask for? Right now, Im just taking ibuprofen which does very little. I just want something to cut the pain enough for me to sleep. Im searching for a new neurologist. This one is not very good.
