I was taking this med for chronic pain and am bipolar. My shrink advised to ween myself off as it is not a good drug. The withdrawals were horrible, brain zaps, emotional ups and downs. Scared my husband and my child. On then off, on then off, that's how it went. I finally decided that cold turkey was my only option. All I can say is that if there is a class action law suit, I WANT IN!
srives must be a plant by cymbalta company

I just read about your seizures, mine won't stop since cymbalta. I don't know what to do. This started after getting off. Dr. Just stopped me. The seizures have seen coming and going since 2011. Anyone else experienceing this ?
I have the same reaction and when I tried to retain a lawyer they told me that because I was taking the generic 'Duloxitine' I could not sue for damages to my health!? Any help out there?
I have the strangest seizures that when I described it to a Dr(more like an as****e) he said I was a lunatic. Can you describe your seizures so I can see if others feel the same way I do please. Thanks
FAITH & PRAYER ARE THE ANSWER, IF YOU PRAY IN FAITH THE LORD WILL RESPOND "ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE YOUR HEALING, YOU JUST NEED TO BELIEVE!, IN JESUS NAME.

you have no clue to what you are talking about! We do not know how dangerous these drugs can be! do you have a depressive or anxiety disorder? Do you have the slightest clue the pain people suffer with these disorders? have you ever experienced these withdrawal symptoms? So you sit there and criticize people that are experiencing horrible pain that you CAN NOT imagine unless you experience and then play Mr Holy and want people to pray! You need to pray for yourself, you insensitive id**t
"srives1"....You have no F..king idea what you are talking about you angry, self-righteous, indignant prick! I was prescribed the Eli Lilly multi billion dollar wonder drug "Cymbalta." NOT for Depression, no...but for it's remarkable, ground breaking results for pain relief of Fibromyalgia (look that up you ignorant bastard) Dr.'s tell you nothing about the drugs they promote for money-mongering pharmaceutical companies! All they know is that the drug has been approved by the FDA (CFIA "Canada") and are safe to treat patients diagnosis!! Cymbalta is dangerous and should be removed from the general market! Eli Lilly new this when their cymbalta wonder-drug killed people during clinical trials, the FDA probably knew this before approving public use, but hey, what's 5 or 6 lives compared to the billions of dollars to be made??? Cymbalta is one of the top three drugs manufactured by Eli Lilly and generates more than 3 billion dollars annually!! Eli Lilly MUST be made accountable for this grievous miscarriage of human life. If I can find a legal firm in Canada to take on a class-action lawsuit against them you can dam well venture a guess what my next step will be!!
I completely understand and empathize with you "and your family!" I don't know how much help this will be but check it out if you haven't already. I live in Alberta, Canada and so far there is nothing here for legal support. I hope to change that!! All the best to you, I wish you well and I wish you success!

I can assure you Cymbalta withdrawals are much different. I've taken and come off of SNRIs before and Cymbalta is the only drug ever where I felt like I might die from it. Or maybe i just felt so bad i kind of wanted to die for relief. It is truly debilitating. I am opposed to frivolous lawsuits myself, but this experience is worth taking exception with. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, especially for the inexperienced that may forever refuse treatment based on the drama of this med. If you haven't suffered through it, your opinion is worthless and would likely change quickly if you or someone you love was impacted.
I begged God. Nothing.
