Ok, this is from the NIH... not exactly a drug company looking to make sales.
Cymbalta should be swallowed whole and should not be chewed or crushed, nor should the contents be sprinkled on food or mixed with liquids. All of these might affect the enteric coating.

I'm not trying to be difficult, and I truly believe that people have probably done this and been fine. I would hate to see someone hurt unnecessarily, however. That's my biggest concern with doing things against the advice of people who have done scientific studies on the coatings of these drugs.
