I find it so sad that the medical community is aware of these side effects and the withdrawal problem but to support the drug companies still promote these kind of drugs. I was prescribed Cymbalta and absolutely could not take it. My doctors continued to prescribe anti-depressants for my FM, I always had terrible side effects including vision loss. I am not a depressed person nor have I ever been so my reactions are extreme. I continue to live with terrible pain because fear of addiction stops me from taking the opioids I would need.
