Duloxetine
"Was taking Cymbalta for depression when my hip arthritis flared up.  I had seen the ads about Cymbalta for use in arthritis, but wasn't really taking it for that reason, so I didn't think too much about it. I switched to another depression medicine, after a period of weaning because of the high cost and side effects of Cymbalta.  Within 2 weeks my arthritis pain had become intense, almost unbearable.  Guess they are right in saying it helps with the pain.  It didn't totally remove the pain, but it did keep it under control.  Now I am struggling to find something else to help with the pain."
