Call your doctor right away if you have new or worsening depression symptoms, unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide.

Talk to your doctor about any medical conditions you may have, including liver or kidney problems, glaucoma or diabetes. Tell your doctor about all your medicines, especially those for migraine to avoid a potentially life-threatening condition, and about your alcohol consumption. Taking Cymbalta with NSAID pain relievers, aspirin or blood thinners may increase bleeding risk. Consult your doctor before stopping Cymbalta or changing the dose.
