I thought it would be helpful to share links where additional information was available regarding this drug as well as other similar drugs (SNRI's, SSRI's).   I will post a few links that I came about (as single posts).   I'd be interested to see what others have found.    This topic may already exist here somewhere.  I just thought it would be helpful to have an easy spot for other users to find information if they were interested.  

 

I just read an article at this link.  I believe this person originally posted this to her Facebook page.

I found this to be a pretty thorough link regarding SNRI's and SSRI's - how your brain is affected, effects, etc.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Timbo! I am going to read all of these!! I soooo need something to distract my brain, educate it, etc. today! It's been a tough few days with sadness, crying, not wanting to eat, etc. I am just fearful right now that after all I've been through on Cymbalta and now off I am going running to the doctor for SOMETHING to ease this crappy feeling!!!! I don't want to, but I am running on EMPTY in more ways than 10 ! Stay strong my friends!!!! clara

This is my favorite so far...an entire book (PDF).  The title is "Your Drug May Be Your Problem"  - these clinicians have very strong opinions opposing the use of psychiatric drugs.  Interesting information.
