You wrote,[...questions for you all..feel free to suggest anything...]
My suggestion to you is to read the reports in the link here. The reports are about real world events from those using Cymbalta after the drug had been on the market for some time. The reports in the link are only the deaths that the doctors think were associated in some way with that the person that died was using Cymbalta. There are other deaths in the repots that the person that died also used other psychotropic drugs. Some of the deaths were completed suicides by gunshot. There are 5 pages of 102 deaths that the doctors reporting those deaths thought that Cymbalta was in associtaion with what caused the person to kill themselves or died from other causes that they think had an association with Cymbalta use.
So my suggestion is to read the reports in the link so that you could maybe have a better understanding of the potential for the drug Cynbalta to kill you or create some mind-alterd state that could lead you to believe that you should kill yourself, if you have not already read these facts.
