Cymbalta-brain effects?

Hi everyone,
Iwas wondering if Cymbalta has the same brain effects(confusion and can't think as well) as gabapenti/neurontin and Lyrica? I got off those because I have less pain and wanted my clear thinking back but now with depression I am on prozac and the doctor wanted me to think about switching to cymbalta. I do not want to get the fuzzy brain again.
Thanks, Janet

Have been on 3000 mg of nuerton for a few years. 60 mg of cymbalta. Cymbalta is supposedly to help pain. I doubt it helps pn . Pain. Nuerontin is more like morontin. A comment I have heard in the past.

Thanks for your input and I was leary of how much pain help cymbalta might have although that we be a side benefit. I also agree with the morontin.

Thanks so very much for the comparison to lyrica. I have been there and done that. While I am still working I do not want to get on those drugs or even try and then worry about withdrawal.

I have been on Cymbalta and had terrible side effects I would never take that drug again or recommend it to anyone!

Thanks so much. I will avoid it. We are really just working depression so no real need to take something that includes pain help but will give me more problems!
