I' m a 49 year old female. I took this nasty drug for just two days to try to control chronic pain of fibromyalgia. The first day I was ok. The second day I was on my way to work when I felt a severe attack of diarrhea. I didn't make it to work. I pulled into a parking lot and before I could get to a bathroom I lost complete control of my sphincter muscle and messed all over myself. In the meantime I was projectile vomiting. My heart was racing and I felt like I was going to die. The only thing that kept me from calling 911 on my cell phone was the embarrassment of having soiled myself! It was one of the most frightening and horrible experiences of my life!

I am so sorry for your horrible experience. I have been taking Cymbalta for over a year now for depression. It works wonderfully for me. Drugs are so strange!

All I can say is good luck! I volunteered to help out with my son's theater group a couple of years ago and I found out that one of the 10 year old boys was taking this drug when he started having panic attacks back stage. They got so bad that he kept saying his heart to stop and wouldn't let me go. I finally had to call his mother one evening because e was so bad off. She finally weaned him off of it. Poor kid. I was really afraid that he was going to lose it and do something crazy!
