Cymgen is a brand name for duloxetine, a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that was first approved by the FDA in 2004 for major depressive disorder. A small number of young patients taking antidepressants like Cymgen have experienced an increased risk of suicidal thoughts, prompting a Black Box Warning from the FDA. This medication serves multiple purposes beyond its psychiatric indications, including the management of various chronic pain conditions.
