"cymbalta was the worst possible medicine i have ever been on.  not only did it not help my depression at all, it actually made it worse.  i also started taking it for fibromyalgia pain which it did not help.  indeed, i have had more pain since starting on the cymbalta than before i was on it. i can&#039;t even count how many times i have considered putting myself in the mental health ward of the local hospital.
