Dr. William Newton answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Not likely: Less than 2% of those studied with Cymbalta (duloxetine) complained of body aches. This was similar to placebo. I tell my patients that all meds cause side effects and if the only thing new in your life is the addition of Cymbalta (duloxetine) than that be the the culprit. Many side effects we cease if you continue the medication. You should discuss this with your doctor.
