A freelance writer, Jeanne Lenzer wrote an article entitled Drug Secrets–What the FDA Is Telling, published in Slate magazine September 27, 2005. She told how she filed several Freedom of Information Act requests and received a database that included 41 deaths and 13 suicides among patients taking Cymbalta. She wrote: “Missing from the database was any record of Johnson, were at least 4 other volunteers known to have committed suicide while taking Cymbalta… that the use of trade-secret laws to conceal deaths and serious side effects linked to drugs as the obvious flaw of putting profits before public health.” (These are facts from the book, but are not direct quotes, and are found on page 12.)
