Don't take Cymbalta
« on: June 23, 2017, 09:58:54 pm »
Just wanted to share, I was put on 40 mg of this drug/ My trigeminal neuralgia got much worse and now I am trying to get off it. Horrible withdrawals from what I have heard from others who also were trying to get off it.
Lesson learned. I am done with these drugs.
