Wagtail, did you read my response to your question over in this thread?

https://www.cymbalta...urn/#entry43713

How are you doing today? Did you call your therapist and your doc?

I will "hound you" on this, you know, until you do it! ;-)

Xoxo

While this is horrible, nobody knows what damage it has done to the user

Based on it's mechanism of action? They don't know it's f##king mechanism of action, hence all the "we believe" bullshit statements in the PIL etcetera.

How dare Lily come out with this statement?

BLG, good to hear from you, how are you feeling? Any progress with the cluster headaches?

If what you're referring to is the phrase "the Swiss Army Knife of drugs," it was coined by the author of the article, not Lilly .... the author intends it as a pejorative descriptor for the poison....

What I found interesting is that the article is from the Indianapolis Star newspaper...the hometown newspaper of Eli Lilly HQ ... I figured they'd have been "bought off" long ago by Lilly and thus be writing nothing but laudatory BS... :-)

Hi BLD.

 

It's no different than the guy in the back alley slipping you the stuff behind the dumpster and saying, "This medicine will make you fly! It'll take away all your pain, your cares, and your fears-- it will make you beautiful!"

 

Same motive, same enterprise, same line, same shit-different day!  

 

My former solve-all regimen of Irish Whiskey and cocaine is highly underrated. lol

"All pain travels through the body and into the brain," said Dr. Michael Robinson, a Lilly psychiatrist and associate medical director of Cymbalta. "In order for someone to experience pain, it's perceived by the brain. Cymbalta is a medication that works in the brain and spinal cord. Based on its mechanism of action, it's effective in a number of disorders."
