Cymbalta is very very difficult to get off of. I saw this in a friend who got yo a certain low dose and she had such a flare, she had to go back on. Its a very long term solution. It is noted elsewhere, several valid sources, that it can be addictive to the body. She tried a painfully slowly, under dr supervision, to do the slow reduction and still never did get off of it. Investigate before going on. I have been offered this drug for CRPS by my doc. When I explained my research, and did her own, she told me she wouldn't order it again. Good luck. Always view ling term effects. Drs dont know human experience all the time. They are told by drug reps its safe.

I just read of a very commonly used nasal spray for asthma that they have known for decades!!! is harmful to the brain and cognition and just now, like this week, decades later, the FDA finally pulled it. Decades!

Did they mean it could cause alzheimer like symptoms or alzheimers itself. Didn't day but same symptoms. Tje drug comoany has known for DECADES. I'm clearly blown away by this. Widely used. Huge money maker. They fid.t care the human toll ignored it. For decades! Yikes.

Drug reps are prostitutes of sorts. Avoid info to make a sale. Not always out drs fault but please read about cymbalta. Its a long, maybe life long, commitment. Just saying. Always due diligence. Thanks for the rant. I am so angry about this nasal spray and the lack of humanity. Even if sued, they know they will come out ahead.

If you are on Facebook, they have a support group for people trying to get off Cymbalta: "Cymbalta Hurts Worse". You might want to check it out before starting the drug. In 2012, former users filed a class action lawsuit in CA against Eli Lilly because they: “Overstated the efficacy of Cymbalta” and “downplayed and/or failed to state the true withdrawal side effects associated with Cymbalta”, Failed to properly warn patients about the risks and of the “frequency, severity, and/or duration of Cymbalta withdrawal”, Benefitted from patients who started taking Cymbalta again (becoming physically dependent on the drug) to avoid terrible side effects, Advertised the benefits of the drug, even those that were not proven."

I can’t find confirmation for the nasal spray you were commenting on it

Can u please include the name

All I heard was they didn’t work

Do you take medication to help with your CRPS? Have you had any digestive or motility problems many years after the CRPS or heart abnormalities?

I agree about the medication deal. I was prescribed 7x the dosage for Fosamax during worst times during CRPS flares or fentanyl patches and I didn’t use these things. This was over 15 years ago. I was scared
