(it is the number one causer of seizures in peopel)
Nope. Epilepsy and seizure disorders are the number one reason of seizures, which has nothing to do with cymbalta. Genetics and brain injury are the top causes of seizures; drug induced seizures are far less common. The causes of seizures in adults are often idiopathic. Sounds like you already had seizures which puts you at greater risk. The chance of a seizure caused by antidepressants is quite low but they are all known triggers. The list of drugs that can trigger a seizure is quite extensive yet they are far from the common causes.
