Depression Hurts, Cymbalta Hurts More!

Tired of those lousy Cymbalta commercials? I am. Cymbalta does not help. It makes things far worse. Ive lived with Cymbalta withdrawal and side effects for 15 months, and it has completely ruined my life. This is my version of what Eli Lilly's commercial should be for Cymbalta.

I've never taken this, have no history of emotional problems but, and it's a big one, I was put on an older anti-depressant called Sinequan for anxiety just weeks after my dad's traumatic death. I could have gotten something safer like Valium but I was put on this hell drug. It either caused or triggered Restless Legs Syndrome.
It started when I was 24. I am now 50 and still suffer. These psych meds are nothing to mess with. Avoid them like the plague

Boy is this video overly dramatic. Depression ruins lives, not Cymbalta nor its withdrawal symptoms. I've been on and off Cymbalta for a years, and I also take several other medications for various diseases. While Cymbalta does have withdrawal symptoms, it is in no way severe. I myself get "brain zaps" and bad dreams, also double vision at nighttime, but did it ruin my life? No, it's helped me immensely with my depression. I can function now and I'm happy. You want real withdrawal? Try tramadol.

ive been taking cymbalta for almost a month, havent noticed anything odd like what everyone else is saying tho, had headaches for the first week i was on it and a wierd looking under eye twitch, but that was about it

Wow, this sounds JUST like Effexor! The infamous "head zaps"! And now lawyers are suing effexor for causing birth defects in newborns. But it makes sense; both Effexor and Cymbalta are SNRI drugs which literally screw with your brain. What I don't get is why drs. prescribe this crap for PAIN when it was devised for depression! I'm not depressed, you moron drs; I am in physical pain! Drs. FEAR and TERROR of prescribing real pain meds is simply unreal.

(cont)... At the end of the day, this area of medicine is about as perfect as the economy. Who will respond well to what medication with which symptoms is generally not testable by blood or imaging, but rather only by observation...at least for now.
I thank you for this post. As it turns out, I believe it was cited in a report to the Advisory Committee. You never know when or where your voice might end up being critical in bringing action to a population in need. [end...finally]

(cont).. So I would argue that an investigation is warranted, given what is at stake.
Sure, patients will have a spectrum of positive/negative flavors of effects with these drugs, based on the indication for which they were prescribed. For those responding well, great. But I see nothing wrong with this post as it is an expression of a real experience which could be related to Cymbalta withdrawal.

(cont).. How this may proceed however is anyone's guess. It doesn't appear that Eli-Lilly has to-date acknowledged any such issues. The prescribing info for Cymbalta does not indicate an evidence-based method for discontinuing it (by tapering, etc.). Given both what has been discussed and my own recent experience, this is rather alarming.
Unfortunately providers are then left with the brunt of figuring this out without a consensus on best practice for discontinuing the drug.
