[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 158302, member: 1498"] I'd be asking to take my 10 year old off Cymbalta. It's a SSRI/SNRI antidepressant, an Effexor clone, and not approved or recommended for children. It's why you are seeing more outbursts -- hostility is what they call it in the antidepressant black box warning in the prescribing information. Impulsivity is also there. You should have been warned to watch for that when [I]any[/I] antidepressant was prescribed. Where you warned to watch for any changes in behavior? You are fully justified in worrying that the outbursts may get more violent. They probably will. Insomnia is common side effect specific for Cymbalta. It really doesn't matter if he's doing better in school if he's becoming more violent. And there is no medication that, if added to the mix, will make that hostility and aggression go away. [/QUOTE]
