Hi all,

I'm going to try cymbalta for nerve pain and also in a minor flare. Is cymbalta safe for UC overall? What is your experience? Does it cause Diarrhea?

It causes diarrhea as your body adjusts. It is safe for UC and helps greatly with my nerve pain. I had to settle on 30mg because 60mg gave me restless legs. Give it time if you don't like it initially. 2 months or so.
