lawsuits for cymbalta

This drug is just awful. I was taken off Prozac to use this drug and it was a miserable month. I was sick to my stomach constantly, lightheaded and dizzy to the point of nearly doing a face plant and having panic attacks. Then a few weeks ago I started having a severe leg cramp ..when it wouldn't go away I had to see a dr. It was a blood clot that put me in the hospital.  I have done nothing that would cause one and i'm not that old . The only difference was taking Cymbalta. I'm convinced thats the cause. The dr that put me on it nearly jumped out of his skin when i told him and refused to talk about it. As for getting off the drug...no problem. I put up w/ withdrawl . I wasn't on it for more than a month but it was scary. A lawsuit would not be a bad thing.

I am very interested, I have forwarded complaints to several lawyers and no one will take the case. I lost my husband 5.5 years ago to sucide while he was on this drug and they take the cases for pregnant ppl but not for a life lost. This drug is making trillions for the companies and I struggle everyday and am severly depressed and there is no one to help. I am with anyone who can get a suit started to end these companies who push this drug. Plz contact me with any help.

I just went to Dr 3 days ago with chronic pain in back and neck and hands. First thing the Dr said was lets put you on Cymballta , they are still making the stuff. Depression med for pain, fibromyalgia and anything else they can get you to take it for. Plz someone get us some help. I have tried since the death of my husband with no success.

the link i posted an hour or so ago is still active an its from a law firm

Excuse me , but in regards to your comment... We ppl are not costing this country anything. This company( Eli Lily ) has cost my my life .. You have no clue the hell I have been thru since I lost my husband. And as for the ppl who take it and the side effects... Yes it is all on the phamplet but when you are in pain or depressed you just want some relief. So unless you kno the situation maybe you should not comment. It is not costing the country... Lily is making trillions on this drug and ppl are taking their lives and the Drs push it cause of the kick back from reps. Something has got to be done.

I have no liver and have been turned away from a hospital when I complained of my symptoms and vertigo...they called poison control and sent me home. Billed me for 8000

i didnt mean to offend you or anyone else with that link it was supposed to help not harm

I took this medicine for 6 years,all the while not understanding why my life was spiraling DOWNWARD!..After almost losing my life from the angioedema. I had been asking ALL the doctors..What is this? I passed out, I had seizures, I was hospitalized 2 times for more 3-5 days each, from the diarrhea, vomiting. I was shipped to this physician, that physician. I took my medicine list with me, as well as my records. I stayed with ONE pharmacy as well. NO ONE, NOT ANYONE...Told me what was wrong with me. I had went from cutting my own grass, and maintaining my own home to be in a motorized wheelchair! I had to have assistance in getting bathed. I lost 6 years of my life...LOST! srives1 you obviously have not ever felt the life crashing effects of this drug, Nor do you have any compassion, humanity. Sound like you just might be a stockholder. shame on you for being heartless AND RUDE!

Doctors are much too quick to put you on Cymbalta, and much too tardy in deciding it isn't right for you. Praying to God won't help with that. I feel pretty sure of it. Perhaps doctors should monitor patients more closely.

She is right. Cymbalta has ruined my life as well. My husband started taking it and went absolutely mad. He has no regard for anyone, has left his family and his home. Shame on Eli Lilly.

I disagree. GPs are way too eager to put any average joe on Cymbalta or some other SNRI/SSRI and they do not monitor them properly. We depend on our healthcare providers to help us, to listen, and to understand. Praying to God will not fix this, pal. Getting evaluated by someone in the proper field before being put on brain altering drugs would be a more reasonable approach.

Casey is right. Cymbalta is a terrible and dangerous drug. My husband started taking it and now he won't even talk to me. He moved to another state and wants a divorce. We've been married 32 years....he said it opened his eyes. He drinks, takes ED meds and avoids anything that has emotion attached to it. He used to be upstanding and decent. Now he is cowardly and arrogant. The worst part is he doesn't even know what has happened to him or why.

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

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 agree.... its hell dealing with brain, zaps, no ambition, and mood swings. i was never put on cymbalta for depression --it was for chronic pain. now that i try to quite taking it.. it is a nightmare and the info on the drug leaflet never warned about this. yes we all need help with some form of lawsuit for this.

I was put on it for both. I am on week four of cold turkey withdrawal! Nasty stuff almost killed me! I am currently looking for an attorney in Indiana. The nightmarish life I had while taking this drug...well I felt cursed! I have since been able to drop 2 other medications, which were given for the problems this drug gave me. HANG IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was on it for pain from fibromyalgia, i started getting tremors in my leg and arm,plus i have vertigo from it . gradually took myself off this crazy med and the tremors in right leg slowed but the rest have stayed with me.some one should be able to take a case like that,cause i hate feeling this way everynite

If nothing else, KNOW...at least you are not alone. This in itself has helped me...get through this. I am not saying the withdrawals are just enough to want to run around and scream though...but getting there. I still have issues, and don'nt feel like I will truly know what is left from the Cymbalta, or a bona fide health issue for 6 months. (My timeline, no doctor can tell me because no one has had anyone on it for this long before) My Primary Care, and Pain Clinic Doctors are all scratching their heads. I have had to educate some of the staff MYSELF, But worth it to prevent anyone else going through this! Hang in there. Time can ONLY be our friend at this point. Remember, others are here for you.
