What Causes Sweating And Edema In The Ankles While On Cymbalta?
I began Lyrica two months ago to relace cymbalta, which i have been on for 12 years for chronic sciatic pain. I have gained 15 pounds and my ankles are very swollen in the two months. I am already overweight and can t afford the additional pounds. The swollen ankles are becoming an issue of hurting. Is there anything I can do? The cymbalta causes head sweats
