lawsuits for cymbalta

Cymbalta is a DANGEROUS MIND ALTERING DRUG. Just the mention of the possible side effects should be enough to take it off the market. The latest ad's advertise Cymbalta as a pain reliever, B.S, that is off label use, a fancy advertising tactic to get people to try it, yet it causes liver damage, and a whole host of other health problems most didn't have before said use. STAY AWAY FROM ANY DOCTOR WHO WOULD PRESCRIBE IT!!!!! For thousands of years people made it with out such drugs, why now today we supposedly need these drugs that until a few decades ago didn't exist? I'm not going to be a big Pharma walking test tube experiment.

I've recently developed symptoms of liver disease which I found out is due to antidepressant use, which I was not warned about. It came on suddenly and no I did not have elevated enzyme levels prior to taking this drug. I tell you what, I will sue like no other if I find out I have permanent damage. I'm due for an endoscopy next week and another blood test too to see if my levels are still high. I'm stopping the drug starting today and there is no way anyone will convince me to take it ever again.

I'm damaged for life by cymbalta. I have scaldex skin syndome mrsa from. Redinh lost my eyelashex multiple layers of skin. I'm now tocic to mody medicine in the usa. I went throgh a terrible bleeding phàse.
I'm sick alone and dismissed from my negligent doctor for. Omplint agains care!

Are you kidding me? Do you think we would have taken this medicine if we had been properly informed of the outcome? All medicines are not addictive. As a matter of fact I use God daily and it hasn't helped with the problems I have fought with cymbalta. You should not be so quick to judge. Obviously, you have never taken the medication. You are WRONG for speaking out of your rear!

I have had numerous side effects and my nurse practitioner does not believe it is related to Cymbalta. She added 10 more mg instead of trying to stop the medication. I have had seizures and had one in her office. She believes it is due to anxiety. It's from daily migraines, body aches, numbness and tingling in my feet and hands. I all ready have tremors and tardive dyskinesia and I can't take Perkocet or Lortab or Ibuprofen for pain. I need off this medication and I need a new doctor!

First off let me say I feel sorry for each and every one. This horrible how this medication does you. Its not fair that they put you on something that can cause so much harm to your body. I tell you had I known about all the crazy side effects I would have NEVER allowed them to put me on this. 

 

Here is my Story

 

I was on a medication Cymbalta for a year and I became very sick. With chest pains that felt like I was having a heart attack along with breathing issues, Nausea, Weight lost, Hot flashes, Faintness, and memory Loss. I ended up having to drop out of school and now on the verge of loosing what little job I have left. I have been in and out of the hospital since June and the doctors had no ideal whats going on with me. I went to a mental health doctor a week ago and found out all this is being caused by this medication. I was recently taken off of it but now The memory loss is worst then ever along with the body acks and nausea. I am currently going thur the detox period which is hard for my mate to sit and watch me go through. I cant have long convo because I get moody too quickly then start crying for no reason. The detox period has gotten so bad that I may have to check myself in for a few days so I am able to detox at a facility instead of at home I am lost and really dont know what to do about my issues. I know pretty soon I will have to quit my job because the memory loss is effecting me so much.

 

I feel someone should have to pay for what I am going thur. Before all this I was a healthy 31 year old female. I enjoyed playing games, visiting with friends and spending time with family all I do now is sit around and stare into space wishing that I was able to do more. It has killed my sex life and I feel like soon my gf will leave soon. What if anything is there for us to do? 

Oh brother - you tell us to pray to your imaginary friend who no one has ever really seen? Seriously? Take your childish nonsense elsewhere and stop telling people to allow themselves to be controlled and deceived by your faulty religious doctrine. And stop trying to force others to believe the foolishness you were so stupid to fall for. Now - there are really people suffering through coming off this drug, and most likely followers of the imaginary god led them to have to get on it. Maybe we should sue you hypocrites. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to understand because most Christians are judgmental monsters who like to step on the suffering and sick when they are truly in need. Good luck to all those on Cymbalta. I hope you find "YOUR" road to recovery.

Hi, So sorry to hear about you're difficulty in getting off of Cymbalta but I am in the same boat. I've been on Cymbalta for about 7 years starting with 60mg and up to 90 mg for the last 3 years. My Doc wanted me to go up to 120mg but I said NO. Long story short, this is a bad drug. Early this year I reduced myself to 60mg Doc didn't like it and said I would be on this drug for life. Nov 5th, 2012, Doc wanted off another 30mg because of my heart racing. She even sent me to the urgent care for EKG to make sure no damage was done to my heart. No one ever told me this drug could damage your heart!!! Fortunately, no damage and now down to 30mg per day. I've had every system listed by the drug company and then some while getting off this drug. My biggest problem has been anxiety and rage. I blessed I have not been arrested at least a few times because of my rage. Very scary for me because I have never even had a traffic ticket. I'm so happy to be down to 30mg, but I have not called my Doc regarding my side effects because I am afraid she will prescribe more pills. However, hate hate hate what I am going through. So worried about the last 30mg. Plan to reduce to 15mg then 5mg . Still so afraid that I told my husband that I think I should be locked up while getting off the last 30mg so that I don't hurt myself or anyone else.

i went off cymbablta want to join lawsuit against this company this drug is a death trap.Still sick and still withdrawing it has ruined my life i have left ,

In short there are no lawyers who will sue. Eli Lilly has billions of dollars and the black box warning label cooked up by the FDA and pharma pretty much protects pharma from being sued. I would suggest looking up Dr. Peter Breggin because he has a new book out that will help you detox. I would also look up Ann Blake-Tracy. She is a Phd and has helped people detox.

Please become familiar with Dr. Peter Breggin if you aren't already. He has a website. He just wrote a book about detoxifying off these ssris. Ann Blake Tracy is a PhD who also knows a lot and does consulting. Good luck to you. I lost a family member due to Cymbalta. I know the hell you are going through.

I also tried getting off of Cymbalta. I take it for depression, i have been takeing for 3 yrs, i now take Wellibutrin with it because i was loosing my energy. I later told the Dr. i felt like i should take a break from it because when i miss a dose a single dose my brain zaps. And when i tried to wheen off as suggested by my Dr. i could not handle the the constant zapping of my brain so after 3 mo, i just staarted taking it again. I now have on and off blurred vision and and last 6 mo i have roaring sounds in my ears, almost sounds like it it is stroming or raining outsind but its not it is just the roar in my ears. I cant afford to go off and miss work, i have 2 kids and a disabled husband. So i guess i am stuck. I am glad to read i am not the only one experienceing these problems, did not realize it would be so hard to stop taking I am now worried what will be my next problem for taking this drug. Is there anyone out there tht has been on the drug for 8 yrs or more?

Cymbalta is also prescribed for peripheral artery disease and urinary stress incontinence as well as anxiety. The withdrawal side effects are well beyond what is considered in the normal range and include suicidal ideation. Suing Eli Lilly for $$$ isn't the point....getting Cymbalta off the market is what is important and raising awareness of the horrors of this drug are the issue. People die because of this drug

Cymbalta has had similar effects on me.  Get off it!  A family member died while taking it for peripheral artery disease.  He was not depressed, nor had he been informed of the awful side effects.

Maybe the ignorant person who posted that it's wrong to sue......should wake up to the real world. Why does God have to be brought into every issue? This is a medical , not religious issue. Caused by - yes - humans, not God.
If you haven't experienced anything like this, perhaps you'd be better off not to speak of it for all our sakes.
