Any of these medications can affect our personalities and judgement. If this is something that has never happened before than it does seem as though it was the Cymbalta that triggered it. Is it now over (was it a one time thing) and is she remorseful about it? YOu should be able to get beyond this with counseling if both of you want to.
Any attempts to try another med may have similar effects. Was the doc that prescribed the Cymbalta aware of what happened? Like Li said, Cymbalta could have triggered a manic response, which it does sound like since it was out of her normal behavior and you said she became unfeeling, etc., so she had a major personality change.
I just stopped Cymbalta, had minor effects during this time, but I was only on it a few weeks at only 30 mg. I have had depression for a long time and never had a reaction like she had. I think at times, what if, but would never seek attention else where and act on it. That's the difference, she let acted on it. Did she tell you or did you find out? Is there an contact between the two now?
I hope you can work through this.
