From the article: The prominent consumer group Public Citizen indicates that the antidepressant Cymbalta should not be taken for any of the approved uses, as there no evidence that the benefits outweigh the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening side effects associated with the medication.
In the June 2012 issue of the group’s Worst Pills, Best Pills Newsletter, Public Citizen classified Cymbalta as a “Do Not Use” medication.
While the group previously concluded that Cymbalta should not be used for major depressive disorder (MDD), it now indicates that it should not be used for treatment of any form of depression, as well as all other uses for which it has been approved by the FDA, such as generalized anxiety or any form of pain, including fibromyalgia.
