I went off cymbalta due to something I did not mention because it caused me to have side effect that I believe are fairly rare. Cymbalta for me was not a friendly med. But meds do interact differently with different people. While it helped the depression, the deep despair type, it ultimately left me too flat. Too numb and suicidal for the first time in my life. That is still not why I went off of it as I did not mind being flat. It sure beat the deep despair I was in. No my other side effect was the straw that broke the camel's back and that was cymbalta caused a major flare up in my gastric systemic that ultimately led to a diagnosis of collitis, a rare type. I now have it managed but the cymbalta sent me to the ER. So I had to go off of it as it would have just continued to cause it to flare up. But as the type of collitis is rare I don't think it causes this type of reaction that often. More often it causes the reverse effect. rsk
Still all in all, it did get me out of the terrible depression.
