I'm sorry those of you posting here are experiencing aggression as a side effect of Cymbalta but am grateful to you for posting about it. My dad's been treated for depression for several years and I lost track of what he was taking. Recently, he's become a raging bully; I can't say it's a personality
change but it's certainly a frightening intensification of his former personality, minus his good qualities. He's become loud, embarrassing, irrational and verbally aggressive. Truly over-the-top. I thought it was a form of dementia, but just found out he's now taking Cymbalta. (I'd checked the side effects for what he used to take and didn't find reports of agression like the posters here have mentioned). I've also read reports that Cymbalta
doesn't increase aggression but I'm pretty convinced from the few posts here and seeing the drastic change in my dad that it absolutely can. Thank you again for posting your experiences. I feel better armed to help him, now.
