I am in withdrawal from Cymbalta right now.
Its hellish. It was prescribed for nerve pain.
It did not do enough for the pain so I want to quit.
Also, it is expensive.
Google it. (ssri syndrome).
The doctor will likely use Ativan, Valium, or Xanax to counteract the reaction. If you are having Serotonin Syndrome and the doctor won't listen find one that will. My wife went to the ER in a pyschotic state right after seeing her shrink an hour before and he saw nothing wrong and upped the Zoloft and then in an hours time after getting to the ER went unconscious. That should have sent up red flags.
The doctors at two ER's did not do a basic medication look up. Neither did two shrinks nor the two house doctors. This was at a level one university hospital. They were so blame clueless they took her off all medications then in walked a shrink who had never seen her and gave her more Zoloft. In one hours time she was pyschotic again. I'm not a doctor but darn it I'm bright enough to figure that one out. I went home and searched her meds plus adverse reactios and got the info I needed in a matter of 5 minites. I took it to the doctor and he said that is pure rubbish. I said it is huh read me the professors name then. He began stuttering at that point. Hard to argue with your Universities Pharmacology Professor.
She was discharged a few days later and still has partial amnesia and lost a few events in her life for good. She also had a brain bleeder show up on the MRI they finally did the last day.
Are you having stomach ache, head ache, extreme agaition, confussion even to the point of seeing things, muscle rigidity, nausea, elevated blood pressure and pulse, and involuntary muscle movements? If yes that sounds like Serotonin Syndrome. Or If those symptoms just show up after taking the pill then it could be leading into it see a doctor ASAP.
