A member asked:

I have been taking 60 mg of cymbalta (duloxetine) for ten years. if i stay on it , should i be concerned about tardivesyndrome or getting a motor disorder?

Not a real risk: Tardive dyskinesia is associated with chronic usage of major tranquilizers, such as Seroquel or phenothiazines. Cymbalta (duloxetine) is a variety of an SSNRI, and these drugs do not usually have any adverse motoric consequences.
