I am on Cymbalta due to depression and nerve damage caused by a very common antibiotic (Cipro)

I was immobilized by Pheripheral neuropathy in all four limbs, lasting nerve damage, panic attacks and insomnia.

You never know how you will react to a drug, so it's important to let your dr know if there are bad side effects. Cymbalta is a tough drug to start out on for many. I know myself, there was a jitterness, almost a tingling in my head for the first few weeks. I stuck with it after reading others experiences and the results have been very good.
