Cymbalta can help
lessen your
fibromyalgia pain.
When you have fibromyalgia,
you live with chronic widespread
pain and tenderness. Some days
it can feel like fibromyalgia pain
overwhelms you. Wouldn’t you like
to live with less pain? Maybe then,
you could get back to more of the
things you want to do.
There is good news. Cymbalta
is a non-narcotic treatment
that’s FDA-approved for the
management of fibromyalgia pain.
When taken only once a day,
every day, Cymbalta can help
you lessen your fibromyalgia
pain. You may begin to function
better and feel better. As with
any medicine, individual results
may vary.
What would you do with less
fibromyalgia pain? Ask your
doctor about Cymbalta.

Important Safety Information About Cymbalta
Antidepressants can increase suicidal thoughts
and behaviors in children, teens, and young adults.
Suicide is a known risk of depression and some
other psychiatric disorders. Call your doctor right
away if you have new or worsening depression
symptoms,
unusual
changes in
behavior,
or
thoughts of suicide. Be especially observant within
the first few months of treatment or after a change
in dose. Approved only for adults 18 and over.
Cymbalta® (duloxetine HCl) is not for everyone. You
should not take Cymbalta if you have recently taken
a type of antidepressant called an MAOI or Mellaril®
(thioridazine) or have uncontrolled glaucoma
(increased eye pressure).
Talk to your doctor about all your medical conditions,
including kidney or liver problems, glaucoma, diabetes,
seizures, or if you have bipolar disorder. Cymbalta
may worsen a type of glaucoma or diabetes. Severe
liver problems, sometimes fatal, have been reported
so talk to your doctor if you have itching, right upper
belly pain, dark urine, yellow skin/eyes or unexplained
flu-like symptoms while taking Cymbalta. Tell your
doctor about your alcohol use and discuss all your
medicines, including those for migraine to address
a potentially life-threatening condition. Symptoms
may include high fever, confusion, and stiff muscles.

or blood thinners because use with Cymbalta may
increase bleeding risk. Consult your doctor before
stopping Cymbalta or changing your dose. Dizziness
or fainting may occur upon standing. Cymbalta can
increase your blood pressure. Your healthcare provider
should check your blood pressure prior to and while
taking Cymbalta. Tell your doctor if you experience
headache, weakness, confusion, problems
concentrating, memory problems, or feel unsteady
while taking Cymbalta which may be signs of low
sodium levels. Tell your doctor if you develop problems
with urine flow while taking Cymbalta and if you are
pregnant or nursing.
The most common side effects of Cymbalta include
nausea, dry mouth, constipation, decreased appetite
and sleepiness. This is not a complete list of side
effects. Cymbalta may cause sleepiness and dizziness.
