yep I was on it for a little bit. I have been on several antidepressants and have had quite intense reactions to all of them. Cymbalta I found to be the most intense of the lot.

I'm not a particularly good example for a positive result because something in my brain chemistry makes me basically allergic and I experience most of the bad side effects.

in the CMI (customer medical info) the serious side effects include worsening of depression and all the stuff that goes with that. thats what I experienced on cymbalta and became seriously psychotic....so for a percentage of people the reverse happens to what the drug is designed to do.

I don't want to discourage you from receiving treatment if thats what you are doing but it's important to be aware of both possible situations... getting better....or getting worse.

the only way to find out is to try....
just don't be afraid to say if things are getting worse
