Now you might be asking yourself “Self? What is Cymbalta?” And self answers “How the hell should I know? That’s what the internet’s for!”. So here is a brief answer from Drugs.com:

Cymbalta is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSNRIs). Cymbalta affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression.

Cymbalta is used to treat major depressive disorder and general anxiety disorder. It is also used to treat pain caused by nerve damage in people with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy).
