> I hear they are now saying it causes liver damage too. I tried it twice. First time nothing second time I couldn't tolerate it. I think all these ad's are hype and money. Love Phillipa

I think the liver damage is overdramatized on this particular medication -- it was mentioned here before, but I don't think as I also mentioned, that there is anything wrong with getting an ALT test every so often (or at your physical) while on Cymbalta. Liver damage is most pronounced (obviously) with people with predefined genetic liver deficiencies to begin with, and therefore should be careful with dosage of a particular medication. Also, the first sign of any liver troubles is jaundice, yellow in the eyes, and unnatural yellow patchy spots on the skin where no known bruising has occurred. This occurs way before any serious damage happens and when caught is quite reversible.
