Hi Cat,

My doctor is pressuring me (strongly suggesting) to try Cymbalta (duloxetine) too. I've been down the road with other SNRIs, as well as SSRIs and TCAs, and had very bad reactions to all of them. He seems to have forgotten all that. Worse still, he knows (or should know) I'm currently taking other meds that increase my risk of serotonin syndrome/toxicity, yet seems oblivious to piling on more.

There was another thread about Cymbalta recently...

Cymbalta now in generic form: duloxetin HCL

...and there is much more in the archives (Search)—bad and good—including side effects and duration.

Doc
