Hi all,

But the reason I had to stop taking the Cymbalta was that after I'd
been taking it for two weeks, I developed a very severe rash over
my entire torso, neck, arms, and thighs.

The first day I noticed it, it wasn't too bad. I thought it was maybe an
allergic reaction to a bug bite or something. But the next day, wow!
I was *totally* covered with this rash -- I was, like, 70% red. Fortunately,
it didn't happen on my face. It was very hot and P**kly and itchy.

So I thought it might just be a temporary reaction (like most other side
effects, which subside after a while), but after three days of it not getting
better, and possibly getting worse, I stopped taking the Cymbalta. And
the rash started getting better the next day. It's taken about two weeks,
total, for it to disappear completely.

My wife says that a rash like that is a reaction your body has when your
liver is over-stressed or malfunctioning and can't clear the toxins out of
your body. I don't know if I believe her -- she's not a doctor -- but it
was pretty scary. (Especially after I started reading about the "Lamictal
Rash" and how it can develop into a very serious problem.)

But, after I stopped taking the Cymbalta, it started getting better. It
was *much* better after three days, and now, two weeks later, it's
pretty much completely gone.
