Thanks Jay and Jan, what Jay said is right. That link is to a public Australian Government medical advisory site on drug warnings and bad reactions to meds, and loads of other information. I was just pointing out to Jay that the Aussie Government had updated their stance on Cymbalta and changed the PI sheets accordingly.
It's not often you see a government do this so publicly over such a small reaction ratio. Jay you're right, it is a small ratio and I just had a very bad reaction. It's also interesting to note that as a new drug is released onto our market it's usually put up there for a period of time to see how people are reacting to it.
One thing I did notice was that Pristiq never made that list when it was released, which, for an AD is just unheard of in this country. Any NEW AD that hits our shelves is always on that list. Hmm, I suppose there is always a first time for everything.
Peace C
