Yes. I took one dose of Cymbalta because my doctor didn't want me to take Klonopin anymore. First I got very dizzy, and then I started vomiting. I threw up all day, and at the point of dehydration, I found I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and I thought my heart was stopping. My husband sat with me holding both my hands tight because he feared I was going to die. To this day I believe his will alone kept me alive. (I did not go to the emergency room because our hospital is a crappy institution that is insured for only $250,000.)
About 48 hours later, when I could finally stand up, I went to the computer and posted my experience on every message board I could find that mentioned Cymbalta. I found several corresponding experiences, and read about some that were far worse than mine. People have died taking this junk, even after one dose.
In a nutshell, here's what I say about this horrible, horrible drug: "Depression hurts. Cymbalta can kill you!"
> Hey all,
> I have just started on Cymbalta and it is making me extremely drowsy. I got put on this as it is meant to be more weight neutral so I didn't expect the drowsiness. Does anyone else have any experiences they can share with cymbalta.
