I don't recall ever saying that.... In fact Cymbalta raises blood pressure in some people, which would restrict blood flow.
The norepi reuptake feature of it will constrict blood vessels.
If you can find that post, I'd like to look at it again..
I looked around a bit quickly and we did discuss drugs that might improve circulation. One of them is Cardizem.... perhaps that is the one you are thinking of?
Cymbalta is sometimes used for urinary incontinence... it works on this problem by constricting the urinary sphincter, in a similar way that stimulant drugs do. (phenylpropanolamine was the primary treatment for this, but was taken off the market for stroke risk--it is still available in the veterinary world for animals for this purpose).
