Hello. I am a 48 yr old wife and mother who was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2004. I attempted to manage pain for years on my own until I had no other choice.
My doctor prescribed Cymbalta and that's where my problems began. I decided that the side effects outnumbered the benefits and decided to quit taking it. I was then lunged into a severe depression and became suicidal. It got so bad that my husband (who works nights) would lock up the scissors, knives, and anything sharp before going to work. This happened for 18 months after I stopped and now my pain is now triple what it was before starting this medicine.
Has anyone else had anything similar happen with Cymbalta? Should I gamble and try to find a replacement medicine? Should I try a new diet to help?
