Shock or tremors I am not sure

I participated in the lawsuit against Cymbalta because of the shock like symptoms in my head and hallucinations at night. I had these documented LONG before the class action lawsuit even came up, about 2 years. I kept telling my primary care doctor that it felt like my brain was being electrocuted. At night, it sounded like someone was banging 2 metal pipes together. The minute I opened my eyes, the banging stopped. I'd try to go back to sleep and it would start again and I'd say to myself, there's that banging sound again, so I know I wasn't fully asleep. I happened to see a commercial on TV one day about the lawsuit and it made the statement....If you've experienced shock like symptoms in the brain....I just remember thinking omg that's what I've been trying to explain to my doctor. I called the number they had for the law office. It took about 2 years from start to finish and I got only $3000 but it was better than nothing. If I'd been able to prove the Cymbalta was responsible for a brain aneurysm I had, I'd have made out like a bandit, as they say. They couldn't connect the dots though so I was happy to get any amount. So, sometimes it's the medication that causes it. I can't take Cymbalta and my doctor at the time cited it was a miracle drug, used to treat many ailments. Mine was for my back pain more than anything else.

I am happy you got something for your side effects. How horrible. I was prescribed Cymbalta as well but it made me very nauseous to the point of vomiting and it reduced my appetite so I had to stop.
