"i am a 16 year old girl who has suffered with extreme anxiety and severe depression since i was 9. the reason why i was so depressed was mainly because i was mildly depressed so they put me on cymbalta and i suffered from the &quot;black box warning&quot; in which adolescents and teens can experience suicidal thoughts and actions. that really messed me up. i&#039;d have panic attacks where i was convinced i wanted to, and i&#039;d puke and shake and stuff. it still happens but when it does my parents give me 0.25mg (i&#039;m very very lightweight so they don&#039;t want a lot in my system) and it seems i work alright. i&#039;d like to take it everyday but my parents are so hesitant to give it to me."
