Cymbalta actually has some semi-potent clinical pain relieving properties. I was pleasantly surprised to notice a lot of pain in my arms, shoulders and back was reduced after starting Cymbalta. It also helped me sleep quite well at first.

Here's some info from a press release at http://www.cymbalta.com :

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the antidepressant Cymbalta (r) (duloxetine HCl; pronounced SIM-BALL-TA), judging it safe and effective for the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain, a symptom of nerve damage that affects up to 5 million Americans, Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced today.

Cymbalta, a balanced and potent serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for pain caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This approval came after a six-month priority review. More than 18 million Americans have diabetes and are at risk for developing persistent pain – often described as burning, stabbing or shooting pain – as a result of nerve damage believed to be caused by high blood sugar.
