The neurologist that I have been seeing finally got most of the worst symptoms under control so that it is easier to work. He put me on modafinil and gabapentin and I feel better than I have for years. Although I feel better, I don't seem to have any more energy. I didn't get any extra spoons...

Hi All,
Three weeks ago I began Duloxetine (Cymbalta generic) 30mg x2 a day to replace Effexor 150mg x1 a day which transitioned pretty well. I noticed a bit less of a Fibro Fog and more "oomph" as my Nana would say. Don't get me wrong, I sure didn't feel like running a marathon, or even...
