Cymbalta Withdrawal Legal Documents

​Here, Dr. Glenmullen states that the risk rates set forth in Lilly’s own analysis are only the tip of the iceberg. The manner in which Lilly evaluated withdrawal in its own studies of Cymbalta would not have captured all of the patients experiencing withdrawal. In fact, based on Cymbalta’s comparatively short half-life, the withdrawal rate is more likely to be in the range of 66% to 78%.

Cymbalta withdrawal lawsuits summary: Personal injury lawsuits filed across the US, claim Cymbalta manufacturer, Eli Lilly and Company, misled them about the antidepressant’s propensity to induce withdrawal side effects and that, when stopping the medication, they suffered withdrawal symptoms including electric-shock like sensations in their body and brain (also known as “brain zaps”), dizziness, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, excessive sweating, insomnia, nightmares, and diarrhea.
