Yes, Cymbalta is a tricyclic antidepressant which treats generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia, chronic pain and peripheral diabetic neuropathy pain. People with depression can also benefit from Cymbalta. It can cause a variety of conditions, including depression or anxiety. Cymbalta works by blocking the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, which can help re-balance these chemical levels.

I am taking gabapentin for headaches that I have had for a kong time. I am also taking PRISTIQ ,WELBRUTION,AND ADDERAL XR and the only thing I notice after taking GABAPENTIN is the wild dreams that I get when I sleep. Theya are so strange and I am glad that when I wake up that I realize they were just dreams. As for effects of the drug I am dizzy, walk off balance and I am not happy with these results. If they persist I am going to stop taking drug and go back to EXCEDRIN. It is just as effictive and I dont get dizzy. I have only been on this drug for a few days I hope these side effects go away.

No, gabapentin is an anticonvulsant. It works differently than TCAs, but like TCAs, it is useful for treating neuropathic pain.
