Hello  Cymbalta or duloxetine is SNRI group of drug. The drug is a nice drug for patients of fibromyalgia and anxiety. It is a good antidepressant drug. It is free of serious side effects. Common side effects are sedation, nausea, slight giddiness etc symptoms which can be managed easily. It has potential to lower seizure threshold but this is seen in rare patients and in those who are having previous history of seizures. There is no need to fear from taking this drug. As this is being prescribed by a doctor you can take the drug without fear of seizures.Thanks, hope this helps you
