NOT true. Not only does Cymbalta work on Norepinephrine (SSRIs do not), each one works a bit differently. My daughter has tried 3 migraine meds which superficially work "the same", but they tweak or not, one different minor receptor each. That makes all the difference. One did nothing for her, one made her worse, and the 3rd has worked.

Cymbalta helped my nerve pain AND alleviated my depression. If not for the hives, I would still be on it.

There has been no indication that this medication has significant permanently life-threatening adverse effects like Vioxx did for the heart.

I do NOT want it pulled from the market, I just want TRUTH. I want EVERYONE TO KNOW, before getting on it what MIGHT happen coming off of it. That's all. Then it is up to the individual to decide. For some, such as myself, I would have said, "NO" - I would not start on it, and it makes me angry that I feel like I was tricked into getting on it.

For other people, they will decide that even if they have to go through hell to get off, because they have already tried everything else and failed, the possibility that this will work, is worth that risk.
