Video: Depression Hurts, Cymbalta Hurts More

I can't figure out who made this YouTube video, but it is a very angry attack on Cymbalta, Eli Lilly's star anti-depressant, and toys with Lilly's "Depression Hurts" ads. It was brought to my attention by If You're Going Through Hell, Keep Going, whose author is on the drug and tells me she's going through absolute hell on Cymbalta. Second only to Haldol amongst bad drugs for her, she writes.

Here's the video:

My former psychiatrist actually threw a sample box of Cymbalta at me. I refused to take it.Already had the Seroquel blow out my Pancreas and put me in the Critical Care Unit.
Love your blog.

When you post youtube videos, would you please post a link directly to the page. Cross site , flash and script security issues added disabled by browser and system based(user choice) so its not something you did wrong for coding.

The comments on youtube are sad, My suffering and lack of negates your suffering from the drug. You have no right to warn people because I had a different and positive result. Fanatics and drug addicts always put themselves their experience first and usually want it as the only option/view allowed.


Cymbalta was the one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. It was way worse than any street drug. I learned a new level of hell and suffering by the second dose.

Oh my! Thank you so much for posting this; I was seriously considering taking Cymbalta (my doc prescribed it a few days ago).
