Withdrawing from Cymbalta can cause severe, long-term adverse effects. It is important to seek Cymbalta withdrawal help when coming off of an antidepressant such as this. An estimated 44% to 78% of people who stop taking Cymbalta will suffer withdrawal reactions, and of those, 9.6% to 17.2% will suffer severe withdrawal symptoms, according to an Eli Lilly study.

Cymbalta Withdrawal Legal Documents

Here, Dr. Glenmullen states that the risk rates set forth in Lilly’s own analysis are only the tip of the iceberg. The manner in which Lilly evaluated withdrawal in its own studies of Cymbalta would not have captured all of the patients experiencing withdrawal. In fact, based on Cymbalta’s comparatively short half-life, the withdrawal rate is more likely to be in the range of 66% to 78%.

Cymbalta withdrawal lawsuits summary: Personal injury lawsuits filed across the US, claim Cymbalta manufacturer, Eli Lilly and Company, misled them about the antidepressant’s propensity to induce withdrawal side effects and that, when stopping the medication, they suffered withdrawal symptoms including electric-shock like sensations in their body and brain (also known as “brain zaps”), dizziness, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, excessive sweating, insomnia, nightmares, and diarrhea.

$2.0 Billion Verdict

In May of 2019, the jury in the case of Pilliod et al. v, Monsanto Company ordered the agrochemical giant to pay $2.055 billion in damages to the plaintiffs, Alva and Alberta Pilliod, a Bay Area couple in their 70s. R. Brent Wisner served as co-lead trial attorney for the Pilliods, delivering the opening and closing statements and cross-examining several of Monsanto’s experts. Wisner Baum managing shareholder, Michael Baum and attorney Pedram Esfandiary also served on the trial team in the Pilliod case. The judge later reduced their award to $87M. Monsanto appealed the Pilliod’s verdict which the California Court of Appeal for the First Appellate District denied on August 9, 2021. Monsanto then requested the California Supreme Court review the appeal’s court decision, which the court denied on Nov. 17, 2021. Monsanto (Bayer) then submitted a petition for a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court which SCOTUS denied on June 27, 2022, allowing the final judgment of $87M to remain intact.
