CYMBALTA-- the new oxycontin??

It did that exact thing to me lolol not cymbalta but another prescription drug.

 

Did you see the ads for Brintellix yet? I started to do a google search for Brintellix and you what Google filled in? BRINTELLIX STREET VALUE .... laughed my arse off.

Must be pretty good stuff.

Why did we think of that? Oh... that's right, no more old white guys around (may be some truth in that)

 

in response to the pharmacist, as I recall, originally the dosage was to be much lower, with option to take more than one capsule if higher dosage required.

But, it's complicated... very expensive to have overseas factory making multiple dosage firms. If anything can go wrong, it will. However, I don't think anyone anticipated crazy withdrawl symptoms. Must drive you nuts to count all those pellets. Sorry!

 

Cymbalta has been, quite literally, a miracle drug for me! I have tried many antidepressants as part of a "drug cocktail" for RSD / CRPS.
No other similar drug worked and the side effects were unbelievable! For instance, I gained over 40 lbs. in less than 2 years while on Lyrica and did not experience any noticeable benefits. I was about to give up when my doctor suggested I try Cymbalta. Not only did my pain levels drop, I lost almost all the weight I gained within 1 1/2 years without changing my diet or activity level.
Cymbalta was a true Godsend for me. If you want to slam an antidepressant, why not slam Lyrica?!

 

To the pharmacist..personally I don't trust a pharmacist that can't even spell..I mean come on my 12 year old daughter can spell better than than you. You are just bashing a company and that's your issue. I'll believe my Dr. And my research vs a pharmacist that spells like a 6 year old.

 

I take Prozac. I launched Prozac. Those were the days. When I started we only hired pharmacists. Hiring a pretty woman was unheard of.

Now the company sucks. The kids brag because their Lantus knockoff is a big seller. Lilly selling knockoffs? It is time for me to retire.

I only do this to keep me busy during the day. Good luck. You will need it.

>30yrs, proud to be a detail man, embarrassed to see what Lilly has become.

 

I know how you feel. I started in neuroscience clinical development. Hard to believe now but I worked on fluoxetine, duloxetine, atomoxetine, and olanzapine for over 20 years. Left a few years back because the neuroscience pipeline died.

 

...Hi I agree in the beginning it helped me immensely..having had cancer and chemo really made me think about all the drugs for my illness I’m on..cymbalta is very addicting..not like a heroin addict so to speak..but now that it is not working anymore I haven’t been able to get off it!

 

Get mental help you fat old sick fuck !

 

I personally want to thank you for the courage to stand up against this med and others like it (effexor)... Something is not right... The drug is minimally effective with the maximum amount of side effects and addictiveness.

 

Aye y'all heard that new song by NbaYoungboy and Lil Baby that shit suave man

 

Yo, Yo Yo Yo...love yoube slingin that urban slang white boy. You be keeping it real tonight homeboy!!!!

 

I realize this is an older post, but in terms of taking a post seriously, you may want to do some major editing before putting your thoughts public.

 

When did he go to medical school and examined the patient

 

i worked for over a year to get off cymbalta and it was not easy....it has terrible side effects and it causes hearing loss. Cutting it in half every other day for 6 months. Then cutting it again for 6 months. But the side effects to get off this drug are so severe. It plays havoc with your emotions, your personality, and I was lucky I actually made it threw the withdrawal and got off it. Take a different drug but do not take this one. Do your research before you decide to take this drug, there have been lawsuits over trying to get off it.

 

Cymbalta is aweful!!! Brian zaps, itchiness, joint pain and swelling. Does not relieve any nerve pain for me and I have nerve damage. I am so scared the fact jes weaning me off bc of the side affects it is awful. And for people who think she's just being closed minded everyone's body reacts differently. There are currently over 60,000 lawsuits to drs who prescribed them this and domt even mention that once you do come off of it has lifetime physical and mental affects. I have never been so scared of weaning off an antidepressant like this one it's so awful. I guess none of you you experienced the brain zaps where it feels like your being electrocuted from the top of your head to the tip of you toe!! Ibe gain I went from 130-135 to 180 in 2 months time on it and i eat healthy small portions. I RECOMMEND ANYONE ABOUT TO HET PUT ON IT DO NOT DO IT TO YOURSELF IT CAN TAKE UP TO A YEAR TO WEAN OFF AS WELL AS SEVERE AND LIFE ALTERING SIDE AFFECTS!!! EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE WHEN I SAY FUCK CYMBALTA!!!
