Hello @c101,
Cymbalta is currently still available on the market. The links you shared were from 2015, which can be a long time in medication and research.
However, as of December 2024, around 233,000 bottles of Cymbalta were recalled due to contamination:

It does not appear that Cymbalta has been completely taken off of the market but has had a significant recall on bottles that were contaminated.
@c101, if you are comfortable sharing, are you currently taking Cymbalta for fibromyalgia? Are you concerned about alternative treatments if Cymbalta were to be halted?

Thank you for correcting the date of the information I sent and that it is still available. I do not take it but I was afraid for people who would need to withdraw. There is a recent article about Cymbalta being recalled due to it being containing a suspected cancer-causing chemical. Please see attached.
