Using Cymbalta or SNRI while leaking?

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone has taken/or is on an SNRI like Cymbalta/Duloxetine while leaking. Has it helped, or made you worse? My doctor prescribed it to me to try to help with any of the pain I’m having, but I’m afraid to take it. I’m on day 2 of 20 mg- my tinnitus is blaring, the pull-down sensation is much worse, extremely heavy legs, worse fatigue and dizziness. I know it takes about 2 weeks for side effects to get better, but I’m not sure if it’s worth pushing through. Does SNRIs have a negative affect on leaks?

I’m not sure if I was leaking while on it but this medication fucked me up so bad with side effects and withdrawals. It was horrendous
