Duloxetine (Cymbalta) is an SNRI antidepressant. Like Lyrica, it has helped—and is helping—a great many people, however also like Lyrica, some people are finding it very difficult to get off of (among other issues). I'm not suggesting this would/will happen to you, but I think considering your experience, it's something you should be aware of.

Here is one report about Duloxetine Discontinuation Syndrome isued by the American FDA.

duloxetine

snri

serotonin syndrome

duloxetine discontinuation syndrome
