Taking Cymbalta For Chronic Pain. Does It Result In Any Behavioural Side Effect?

Hi! A few yrs ago I was given sample packs of Paxil and within 2 weeks of starting it I was suicidal and am very scared and nervous to try new medications. My doctor just gave me sample packs of cymbal ta for chronic pain and I read about it and the side effects and am worried that the same thing will happen again! I'm alone most of the time and wouldn't really notice changes in my behavior, what can I do to make sure this doesn't happen again or is there some way for me to monitor myself on this medication?
