Dangers of Cymbalta
What is Cymbalta used for?
Cymbalta has been approved by the FDA for both the treatment of depression and the management of pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Two totally different things but hey if the say it works then they must be right huh?
Cymbalta (an SSNRI) targets two chemicals, serotonin and norepinephrine, that are believed to play a role (key word “believed” just like how they believed the world was flat) in how the brain and body affect mood and pain.

Cymbalta pulled me out of a major depressive episode recently. I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder for the last 20 years. No depression flares occured in many years until recently. My doctor put me on Cymbalta for the depression and I stopped Effexor. (which was not working). Anyway, my point is, I was almost suicidal with depression until I was into about 6 weeks of Cymbalata therapy.The doctor also bumped the dose to 120 mg before it helped me. But when it kicked in, I got my life back. So, I take the chances with Cymbalta because before Cymbalta I felt like throwing myself under a bus and hated waking up in the mornings I was so depressed. So, if I ever have to stop the drug I suspect it will be a problem. But for now I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

I was in a huge state of panic about a year ago..i woke up fearing everything,thinking i was going to die, thinking some one i loved was going to die i was living in fear constatly. i was so panicy that i spent several months going from doctor to doctor i was having horrible chest pain. after much testing it was concluded that i was healthy except i was tensing up so tight and so often that i was injuring my chest shoulder and back muscles.Then came cymbalta. i started with 30 mg every day then was moved up to 60.Allmost immediatly it began to help.Little by little, and tiny inch by tiny inch i began to feel better.I began laughing again, i wanted to get out of bed again and do things. Cymbalta may not be the answer for every one, but it may be for some. Some times when your back is up against the wall and your barely able to function.. you have to try different things. Im glad i did try it
