...cymbalta made me more psychotic. I became obsessed with suicidal and homicidal thoughts. I felt like I was in orbit...chemically rewired to have an entirely new and disturbing type of depression. I have a history of adverse reactions to antidepressants, but cymbalta was the worst. I ended up in hospital and a psych ward following self injury and I couldn't get off it quick enough!

some people cannot take meds like that....just a few have a seriously bad reaction, and I'm one of them.

there is a list of potential side effects on the CMI... I think most people can usually check off a few in there.

there is another list of more serious side effects. this is the list to pay most attention to I reckon. There is a reason these side effects are in there...it's astonishing!....but it's true

worsening of your depression
thoughts or talk of death or suicide
thoughts or talk of self-harm or harm to others
any recent attempts of self-harm
increase in aggressive behaviour, irritability or any other unusual changes in behaviour or mood
