"Duloxetine is a SNRI (selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake 
inhibitor)." ..."a drug which is indicated for major depressive disorder"

Has it not occurred to you that AQ might actually be warning you, so you 
won't take a harmful drug in the future? You aren't judging a man by his 
  style of information dispensation, are you?

SSRI/SNRIs are *not* the wonder drugs the pharmaceuticals would have you 
think they are. I've experienced SSRI-induced psychosis myself, although 
I'll admit I was wrongly diagnosed at the time. Simple precaution could 
have saved me a lot of trouble, a vehicle, a driver's license, and six 
months.

Here's something I picked up from Googling. I'm sure there are plenty 
more like it:

Obviously the TV commercials are giving people the idea that they can 
take SSRI/SNRIs for nearly any problem causing anxiety or depression. If 
the 8% figure given by that article I linked to has any truth to it, 
society could be heading for disaster at any given moment, should a 
trigger occur...
