Cymbalta (duloxetine): Cymbalta (duloxetine) is a selective norepinephrine-serotonin reuptake inhibitor which sometimes can cause constipation. If your symptoms correlate with the use of this medication, it could be the culprit. The best initial treatment of constipation is increased fiber and water in your diet.
