, I am 74. I was born with a very mild case of CP. Doctor said not to give me therapy. It would only slow me down. I grew up pretty normally, got married and raised a duaghter. About 20 yrs ago my doctor gave me paxil which has helped me. The problem: due to pain from arthrertius , I have been put on cymbalata. (30mg) But I have been falling asleep during the day, and quite often have made some very weired statements. also have had some very weired dreams during the day during lunc The pain is better, but I wonder if I should go back to paxil (paraoxitine. ) and go back to paxil

Hello,

Paxil is a good alternative to Cymbalta.

You can also consider drugs like hydrocodone or oxycodone also.
