Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I was prescribed Cymbalta in June of last year. I took one pill and during the duration of the effects of that one pill, I had the leg pain, the night sweats, increased appetite (however no weight gain as you will soon understand), and became almost instantly of suicidal thought. I literally felt like I completely lost control of my mind. My entire personality and frame of thought changed with one pill. Needless to say, I put the kibash on taking that medicine. I would never, ever recommend it to anyone because of that experience. I do, however, understand that everyones bodies are different and react differently, so I can only respond with, if the symptoms are not something you can live with, approach your doctor with the possibility of another option.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Well, as we might put it in east Texas, I ain't gonna try that Cymbalta. Sounds like the wrong stuff.
