Need to find studies of Cymbalta + Lyrica

Post by bob327 »

The main part of the HOPE website says this: "There are some studies showing that the combination of Lyrica and Cymbalta may give pudendal neuralgia sufferers greater relief than utilizing one of them alone." Can anyone tell me where to find those studies? I want to share them with my psychiatrist and want to know a lot more myself before trying Cymbalta and/or Lyrica. Thanks!

Actually I did a search in pubmed and found some but there is a more recent one refuting that statement so really, sometimes it's hard to know what to believe when it comes to studies... :?
PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Hi -- Thanks. I guess there is no point in my trying to find, read, and weigh studies against each other since I am not a doctor. I guess I will ask my doc to look into it and, if he won't, I will forget about it. It's not worth changing meds on such vague info. Thanks again for your reply.
