Cymbalta arrived in 2004 to much fan fare and hype. Originally prescribed for those suffering from 'Depression' and 'Anxiety', it is now prescribed for numerous ailments in the relief of pain and incontinence.
Even during clinical trials, Cymbalta made 'sane' people commit suicide or attempt to do so. Cymbalta has left a legacy of broken hearts, lives and families in its wake.
In 2009, Cymbalta was estimated to have earned its manufacturer - Eli Lilly & Co (the 'manufacturer') - around 3 billion dollars.
Cymbalta has other 'side effects' reported such as serious liver damage and unknown withdrawal symptoms. Many people are reporting horrific times and debilitating health issues with withdrawing from this drug and in October 2012, a law firm filed a nation wide class action lawsuit in the USA against the manufacturer. The suit pertains to the manufacturer not warning consumers of withdrawal effects of Cymbalta.
This drug needs to be banned and with your support I am confident this can happen.
We, the undersigned, call upon all regulatory bodies nationally (lodgement country being Australia) and internationally to withdraw from sale the Eli Lilly & Co drug marketed as 'Cymbalta' and/or its generic or re branded equivalents directed at other 'diseases' as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
