What
Is Cymbalta?
Cymbalta
is in a class of medicines called serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake
inhibitors (SNRIs). Cymbalta is used to treat depression.
Who Should Not Take Cymbalta?
- Never
take Cymbalta if you are taking another drug used to treat depression,
called a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (MAOI), or if you have stopped
taking an MAOI in the last 14 days. Taking Cymbalta close in time to an
MAOI can result in serious, sometimes fatal, reactions, including:
- High body
temperature
- Coma
- Seizures
(convulsions)
MAOI drugs include Nardil (phenelzine sulfate),
Parnate (tranylcypromine sulfate), Marplan (isocarboxazid), and other
brands.
- Never take Cymbalta if you
have uncontrolled narrow-angle glaucoma (disease causing increased
pressure in the eye).
- Do not take Cymbalta if you
have serious kidney or liver disease or drink alcohol excessively.
What
Are The Risks?
- Possible
life-threatening serotonin syndrome when used with triptan
medicines: See FDA Alert [07/2006] above.
- Suicidal
thoughts or actions:
Persons taking Cymbalta may be more likely to think about
killing
themselves or actually try to do so, especially when Cymbalta is first
started or the dose is changed. People close to persons
taking
Cymbalta can help by paying attention to changes in user’s
moods or
actions. Contact your healthcare professional right
away if someone
using Cymbalta talks about or shows signs of killing him or
herself.
If you are taking Cymbalta yourself and you start thinking about
killing yourself, tell your healthcare professional about this side
effect right away.
- Stopping
Cymbalta:
Do not stop taking Cymbalta suddenly because you could get side
effects. Your healthcare professional will slowly decrease
your dose.
- Possible liver
damage: Cymbalta may cause liver damage. Do
not drink alcohol while taking Cymbalta because this can
make liver damage worse.
- Blood pressure: Your
blood pressure may increase.
- Mania: You
may become unusually hyperactive, excitable or elated.
- Seizures:
You may experience a seizure (convulsion), even if you are not taking
Cymbalta close in time with a MAOI.
- Pregnancy:
Tell your healthcare professional if you are or may be pregnant because
babies delivered to mothers taking Cymbalta late in pregnancy have
developed problems, such as difficulty breathing and feeding.
- Sexual problems:
You may have problems with impotence (erectile dysfunction), abnormal
ejaculation, difficulty reaching orgasm, or decreased libido (sexual
desire).
- Other side
effects include nausea, dry mouth, constipation,
decreased appetite, fatigue, sleepiness, and increased sweating.
- Tell your
healthcare professional
about all your medical conditions, especially if you have liver or
kidney disease, or glaucoma. Tell your healthcare
professional if you
are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed your baby.
Are
There Any Interactions With Drugs or Foods?

may interact with medicines other than the ones already mentioned in
this information sheet, causing serious side effects. Tell your
healthcare professional about all medicines, vitamins, and herbal
supplements you take, especially those used to treat anxiety, mental
illness, depression, infections, or heart problems.
