I haven't been on much and have been continuing with the 2 bead a day taper.
I've been on several medications including oxy and celebrex in addition to the cymbalta over the
last 10 years for my musculoskeletal pain. I was switched from oxy to tramadol only a year ago. I also quit the celebrex out
of fear of liver damage for long usage. Taking glucosamine instead. Also been on tizanidine for a muscle relaxer this whole time.
This is soo embarassing to talk about.
I had minimal acne breakouts as an adult. After I'd started the cymbalta and having already
been on all the other meds too, my skin started breaking out more. On my arms, face, neckline and
my back. And the oxy made me itch it to some degree, breaking the skin. Even in my sleep.
Wherever the skin was broken is now white - so my pigmentation is gone in all of those little spots.
I went out of town this past weekend and with different lighting realized that basically my entire face
has lost all of the pigmentation because of all of the breakouts.
The research I did said the NSAIDs may have caused it and I've been off of that for a year.
Has anyone else had this skin issue with cymbalta?
