Re: Cymbalta (duloxetine HCl): Official Site

Hey, I don't know what you were looking at this for. But I have seen it advertised allot on TV. I have learned that if you see a Prescription Med Advertised allot on TV. Then there is most likely real problem with it and the Manufacturers are just trying to make all the money they can off of it before they are forced to take it off the Market!:O I did a search and found allot about Cymbalta... and it's Not Good!:O

Cymbalta / Duloxetine

Eli Lilly and Co. is continuing to conduct safety trials of its experimental depression drug Cymbalta, also known as duloxetine, after a healthy 19-year-old college student killed herself while taking the medication. Traci Johnson was one of 22 volunteers involved in a trial at Eli Lilly's clinic at Indiana University Medical Center in Indianapolis. Johnson, who did not have depression, was taken off the drug and given a placebo four days before she hung herself in one of the clinic's showers on February 7, 2004. The trial is testing whether higher-than-normal doses of the medicine are safe.

Johnson was the fifth patient to commit suicide after taking Cymbalta since clinical trials began several years ago. About one-fifth of the volunteers have quit the trial since her death. Johnson's suicide adds more controversy to the ongoing debate over whether antidepressants are associated with suicidal behavior in children and teenagers.

Recent studies also indicate that claims that Lilly makes about Cymbalta's ability to control pain may have been substantially overstated by the drug company.  Many Cymbalta patients have reported bizarre side effects and withdrawal symptoms from duloxetine, including hallucinations, somnolence, restless leg syndrome, and suicidal ideation.

See your doctor if you have experienced serious health problems after taking Cymbalta. In addition, it may be important to contact an attorney who can help you protect your legal rights. Please keep in mind that there may be time limits within which you must commence suit.

Cymbalta Suicide Data Withheld by FDA

Apr 16, 2008 | Parker Waichman Alonso LLP
Cymbalta, an antidepressant made by Eli Lilly, has been linked to suicides.  Although suicide is sometimes the tragic outcome of depression, some of those who have committed suicide while taking Cymbalta were not being treated for depression - or for any other mental illness.  Unfortunately, despite reports of suicides not linked to depression, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has been slow to act on Cymbalta, and has actually concealed information on some suicides that...

Cymbalta Suicidality Lawsuit

Cymbalta, Diabetes and MDD

The FDA recently approved the first drug indicated for the management of peripheral neuropathy accompanied by pain that is associated with diabetes. The drug is trademarked as Cymbalta (duloxetine hydrochloride) and it's manufactured by Eli Lilly and Co. Cymbals, an SSNRI, was also recently approved to treat major depressive disorder in adults.

Peripheral neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus, affecting up to 62% of American diabetics. It's usually associated with long-standing diabetes or poor glucose control, and it's typically characterized by burning, tingling, and numbing sensations that begin in the feet, and later affect the legs or hands. Some patients report significant discomfort in association with these symptoms, often to the point of near or complete physical disability.

Major Depression is a severe condition affecting millions of Americans, with most adults experiencing some form of depressive episode at some point in there lives. Major Depression is characterized as an especially severe form of depression, but is not associated with the mood swings seen in bi-polar disorders and it affects the patient's life more dramatically than chronic depressive conditions like dysthymia or for a longer duration than the depression that typically accompanies mourning. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have been diagnosed with the disorder and many more remain undiagnosed. Intensive PR campaigns have helped reduce the stigma attached to depressive disorders, so more people are diagnosed with the condition every year.


Cymbalta and Suicide

The FDA stated in a warning issued in October, 2004 that "Antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children and adolescents with MDD and other psychiatric disorders." The agency further states, "Anyone considering the use of an antidepressant in a child or adolescent for any clinical use must balance the risk of increased suicidality with the clinical need."

During recent drug trials, there have been several reported suicides committed by patients either while taking Cymbalta or shortly after stopping the medication.


Cymbalta and Liver Toxicity

On October 17, 2005 the FDA expanded its warning about liver related issues with Cymbalta, warning physicians and clinicians about its use in patients with Chronic Liver Disease. The new labeling includes reports of hepatitis, jaundice and other liver related disorders in patients prescribed the medication. The reports received appear to indicate that the medication should not be used at all by anyone with known liver damage or disease

In a letter to doctors dated October 5th the company states, "Cymbalta should ordinarily not be prescribed to patients with substantial alcohol use or evidence of chronic liver disease." Previously the warning mentioned only alcohol use.


Cymbalta - Am I Qualified to Complain?

If you or a family member have taken Cymbalta and have experienced any of these reported side effects, you may be entitled to compensation.
