Hi, I've been on 60 mg 2 x's a day of Cymbalta for over a year for pain management and depression. I also have fibromyalgia and am on full time disability. I just recently added 15 mg of Dexedrine twice a day for my ADD. In the beginning it took my pain away completely until the effects of the Dexedrine wore off and gave me energy that I haven't had in years. Then I noticed I was having problems with my vision and terrible headaches. I firmly believe it's from the Cymbalta. I stopped taking the morning dose of 60 mg and immediately the vision improved and headaches are subsiding, however, I am starting to experience withdrawals from lack of the morning dose. My energy level has decreased and I'm tired and in pain but I know it would be a lot worse if I weren't taking the dexedrine. I'm wondering if anyone else has had vision problems or headaches from Cymbalta, especially after adding a stimulant? I am hoping the energy level will go back up once my body adjust to the lower dosage of Cymbalta. After reading all this information about Cymbalta, I would like to get off it entirely but I'm afraid of what may lie ahead.
