lawsuits for cymbalta

Does anyone have a lawsuit out for this I am on this drug and tried several times to come off but can't I feel terrible so I feel like I won't be able to at least no time soon. Please respond if anyone is interested in trying to make it known about this drug and finding an attorney to take this case I'm in greenville,sc

First of all, you take anti-depressants for a reason, they are made to help you. You, yourself, knew the risk when you started taking it, all medications are addictive and all antideppressants have side effects when coming off. You people who want law suits are doing nothing but costing this country money, Insurance cost increase for families, and cost increase for pharmaceutical companies to fight people like you. Obviously you need something stronger than Cymbalta, maybe you should trying praying to God and asking for the strength to get off by yourself. Only God can help anyone who asks. Suing the company will not do anything and you are WRONG for even suggesting it.

Its not just you getting off Cymbalta is like getting off a major narcotic. Cymbalta got me seriously ill! It is a dangerous drug. NO you are not wrong for suggesting it YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! ***. You are one of many banding against Cymbalta. This drug was not made to help! It was made to get you addicted to iot. Anyone who says that you are wrong for wanting to sue Eli Lilly because of this drug has never been on the drug

No you arent wrong for suggesting suing Eli Lilly! Cymbalta put me in the ER 3 times and could've easily put me in the hospital. Cymbalta is a DANGEROUS drug and needs to be stopped

I don't know about lawsuits but I have recently found that I cannot take myself off of the Cymbalta because of the serious withdrawal symptoms.
I was put on the Cymbalta because of pain from Fibromyalgia. I read the warnings and no where in the warnings did it say that I would suffer horribly if I tried to stop taking the Cymbalta. It did not warn that my
brain would literally short circuit nor that I was going to be worse off
when I tried to stop taking this drug than I was before I started taking
it. I had a good doctor. I doubt he knew. I would feel better on heroin too, but at least we know what to expect in withdrawal from that drug. Don't let anyone bully you. The drug company did not properly advise you as to what was going to happen if or when you decided to stop taking the drug.

I think it's misleading for someone to say that you knew the risks when taking a drug like that. There are certain risks that can be accepted but I don't think that anyone would willingly take this drug for the side effects that you're talking about. As for the class action suit, I know that there is information on it online and that it should also be in the paper. Please keep us posted.

My father was put on this drug for back/nerve pain and he started doing the craziest things. My mother caught on fast enough and got him off of them asap.

Suffering myself from Fibromyalgia. chronic muscle and nerve pain every doctor I have been to has tried to shove Cymbalta and Lyrica on me.
I wouldn't touch the Cymbalta because of how it reacted to my father and the Lyrica made me feel like climbing the walls after 2 doses!

Ironic the doctors offering this drug did not warn me of the side effects.

I really feel that soon the FDA will put out warnings for both Cymbalta and Lyrica. I guess only time will tell.

PSSS.. I feel that the drug companies should be sued when their products harm people or when they misinform the public.

Paroxetine, prozac, paxil, cymbalta, effexor, they all have the brain shiver withdrawal, what can you do? i mean we are all crzy got to take something i want to know where i and how i can get lily to help me pay for my medicatio or send me some of it this med is expensive

First of all. If anyone says that it is wrong for you to even say law suit, they havn't experienced the terrible symptoms that are caused by Cymbalta withdrawl. I have been trying to taper off of Cymbalta for months now. I have tried all the metods recomended by my doctor but, the symtoms persist.

When I read the Cymbalta precautions that were given to me by the Pharmacist, in NO WAY was I warned about the terrible withdrawl systoms I would suffer when it was time to stop taking it. Many people have discribed the brain tremmors as "brain zaps", that is a good discription. I don't know if anyone one has had pain as severe as I have had [probably] but I have had a lifetime of sports injuries that have never left me with such terrible pain. I have 4 Titainium bolts in my back and on the worst day I've had since that recovery, I've never felt like this. Horrible back,ankle and wrist pain. I've had days that I was completely disabled. Not to mention that disconnected feeling, deppression that is far worse, and anger that is very hard to control. [not like me]

Just for refference: I am Male, 44yrs, 6'-5", 275lbs, atheletically active and fit. I was precribed Cymbalta for deppression.


I know now that I am completely addicted to this drug................. any suggestions? any success stories?

I have heard of a lot of people who get off the drug basically have to get off it like they would an addictive drug, where you have to do a very slow taper and still suffer through some symptoms. IS that something that you'd be interested in doing? I think it'd be possible so long as you can do it slowly. Have you investigated taper programs?
