"Produced Severe Psychosis... You see those news ads about SSRIs or SSNRIs causing suicidal tendencies in certain groups. Many psychiatrists dismiss that, and offer instead that these medications simple alleviate depression to the point that the suicidal actually have the energy to kill themselves. I used to share that opinon. Cymbalta proved me wrong, in a horrible way. I have never considered suicide before in my life. But the first day I took Cymbalta I felt extraordinarly uneasy. My thought process became both irridact and paranoid, and I felt the undeniable urge to an acute suffering I had never experienced before (this is where the suicidal thoughts came in). The second day it got worse. The third day I took off from work. By the end of the first week, I was huddled in my room, feeling helpless, having suicidal thoughts constantly. I went straight off of Cymbalta after the first week and felt better soon after. I have never been before or since experienced such a psychosis, with suicidal features, in my life, except when on Cymbalta. I experienced no extra stressors during that week, it was a regular and consistant week. Just work and family; things I actually appreciate. I don't mean for this review to terrify potential Cymbalta users. I'm certain it works wonders for some, just as some drugs have worked for me but not for others. I write this review because it is what I experienced, and I feel the need to dispel this crockpot theory that SSRIs or SSNRIs don't produce suicidal thoughts in some, but give them the will to do so. It will take a long time for psychiatrists to take the possibilities that SSRIs and SSNRIs can cause severe psychosis in some seriously, because SSRI or SSNRIs are such a frequently used remedy for them and so often well tolerated. What are many psychiatrists today, except glorified SSRI dispensers, billing a c-note for 15 minutes of their time?"
