Do medical physicians reveal the names of their patients to the public? Ofcourse not. That is confidential. They simply present the case and that's enough.
I am not asking you a difficult question. I am not asking you to play word games with me either. I am asking a question to your heart and I will ask it again:
If this would be your daughter, how would you feel? Would you still explain these side-effetcs away as something innocent and short lived?
The pharmaceutical companies are doing this for so many years despite the facts. Come on Scott, you cannot deny the commercial adds for Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, etc.
One recent new fact is Health Canada advising canadians that newborns may be adversely affected when pregnant women take Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and other newer anti-depressants during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Reported symptoms include: feeding and/or breathing difficulties, seizures, muscle rigidity, jitteriness and constant crying.
This advisory applies to the following anti-depressants: bupropion (whether used for depression or for smoking cessation), citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, mirtazapine, paroxetine, sertraline and venlafaxine.

To come back to my point, above mentioned side-effects are to expected from Cymbalta (duloxetine).
