Cymbalta is an antidepressant made by Lilly. I'm not depressed. I almost never get depressed. One of my docs just prescribed Cymbalta for pain control.
The doc said all medicines have side effects and I should not be concerned about the list of warnings from Lilly:
- Cymbalta may cause suicidal thought and behavior

- Cymbalta may cause life-threatening skin reactions
- Cymbalta may cause falls, possibly resulting in serious injuries

Thought this post was great. When did Cymbalta start being used for pain control? I thought it was just used for self euthanasia.
