Lar, do you believe everything the drug manufacturer's literature say when they only do trials for 12 weeks presently. My neurologist is the one that says the drug can live in the tissues with in the the body. You are referring to shelf live. Yes cymbalta has a short shelf life which is why you need to taper off of it when coming off. But during my taper which was hell, I had brain zaps, and more things going on which wound me up in the hospital. Also, my neurologist has several patients all that had seizures due to AD's. Cymbalta being the worst. You might know your stuff but not all of it. Pardon me but I have been on three different boards and this isn't the first time I have heard what I have been talking about. But I will leave you guys to your stuff. I thought I would find support here but instead I have found people that believe everything Lilly spits out as truth. Beware of the drug companies it is money to them. Look at their protocol for getting off the drug. It doesn't work. There are several boards out there for withdrawal from AD's and it is de-toxong. Don't bit your tongue on my account. Wellbrutrin is not helpful for panic attacks. The homework the doctor didn't do is prescribing cymbalta for panic attacks versus lexapro and with seizure history that would have been the appropriate protocol.
Sorry you think I don't know what I am talking about but I do.
But I will shut up for now. Good luck to everyone on this board, I will find another.
