    hello i am new

    Great to have a place like this for support. I am currently taking Cymbalta 30 mg in the morning and gabapentin 300 mg at bedtime and this works pretty good, but fatigue is sometimes overwhelming, not sure if it is the medication or the fibro that causes me to fight sometimes to stay awake.
