Is Cymbalta A Good Alternative Of Lyrica?

I have been taking Lyrica for 3 plus years due to shingle neuropathy under my left arm. I want to find a permanent cure or at least different treatment for the pain, since I am experiencing several side effects from the Lyrica. My new doctor prescribed Cymbalta for me, but I m hesitant to take it after the experience with Lyrica. Would Cymbalta be your call?
