I have been trying to taper off Cymbalta for a few months now. At first I thought it was going well, I was down to 30 mg every other day. As soon as my Dr told me to go to 30 mg every 3 days, things started to fall apart. I am a 35 year old mother of 2 young daughters who can no no longer stand to be a proper parent, have no desire to excel at my job any longer and find myself "sick" in bed with frivolous sore throats and random sicknesses that keep me form my family even more. I have started avoiding outings and am in tears almost 10 times a day. I never once had a suicidal thought when I was first diagnosed with depression and anxiety - however coming off this drug makes me think suicidal thoughts constantly. I don't think I'm at risk of harming myself, however I do feel that my lack of being able to parent my young children is causing me excessive guilt and has made me want to leave my family repeatedly over the last few weeks. I just want to be alone all of the time. I am waiting to get into my Dr to see if she can help - but I turned to good old Google to help and here I am! Angered beyond belief that I was given a drug with known side effects and withdrawl symptoms that are making me feel crazy!!! I don't want to be on this drug any longer, however am scared for my safety trying to come off it! It has somehow taken my idyllic life and flipped it upside down in no more than a few months. What are the best places to start to join a class action? I have never felt more inclined to fight for other people to avoid going through this situation in the future!

Thanks for this wonderful reply to a world full of self righteous a..holes. I have been on this for years & have tried to go off with horrific side effects. If you have found someone to take this money grabbing U.S. company to court, I would back your efforts the best I can. I also, live in Canada and all the sites with lawyers are in the States. We need more people in Canada fighting the big companies and using us as human guinea pigs. Thanks again.

I have taken cymbalta 120 mg per Day for more than a year for fibromyalgia. Stopped it
By decreasing the dosage over a 3 month period. No withdrawl effets at all
It never had any effect anyway on my fibro symptoms . Guess i am not of the dépressive type and not a drug addict

You have to submit your medical records n other info to join the class action lawsuits. It's worth it . I even filed a complaint against my doctor because instead if changing my med, he increased it . he didn't record the side effects I was having in between getting Rx's filled. I felt horrible.

Yes people that make obnoxious ignorant responces are just here to argue. I came off off a high dose off cymbalta for 10 years and had electric shocks all over my body daily, mini seizures, pains, horrifying nightmares, major stomach problems just to names a few. I was in the last legal settlement. Its aweful to get off but Im so glad I did. But I cant tell u how many days I cried from the pain of withdrawls. Its over a year and a half later and I still do but not as much. Several trips to emergency and put on morphine through iv. I hope they take it off the market.

I lost my job, my home, my sanity, attempted suicide, I LOST EVERYTHING because of Cymbalta. How do these lawyers settle in a hush hush way that includes allowing Eli Lilly to keep peddling their POISON Cymbalta to unsuspecting victims? If anyone is getting together in another class action suit against these devils, please contact me because I have all my documentation and medical records from years of trying to stop taking this stuff and finally being able to do so in 2014 after months of agony. My life and so many others has been ruined by Cymbalta. All of us that have been left in the dust by the 10/2016 settlement (I know there are plenty) need to get together for another claim against these devils. Please keep my name and contact info in the probable event any other litigation is being pursued. Thank You
