is this normal and does thin mean i should cut back on the blood pressure medicine? it has been as low as 95/60 and i am not used to it being that low and i honestly dont remember what it was like pre cymbalta... i also quit xanax the same time i stopped the cymbalta, i was on the xanax for about 8 years.... needless to say it was hell, and now my hybercondria and agorophobia along with panic is coming back, but i like the fact my blood pressure is low now.....
Hi. Your current medications would not be causing your high BP. It may be that these medications are not the right ones for you. Are you tracking your BP on a home meter? If so then you need to make sure it's working correctly. If it is then insist that your GP see you for a thorough check-up and go from there. Take care...
First thing to note, Unfortunately smoking does affects the amount of duloxetine in your system and blood stream meaning that you will loose between 40 - 50% of the duloxetine dose you take. It is not uncommon for people to have their duloxetine prescription increased if they smoke.

There is a risk from duloxetine in general can cause kidney and liver trouble in some, drinking alcohol while on this drug increases this likely hood and if your a alcoholic then my advice is to have 6 month blood tests of your kidney and liver functions.
Combining these medications can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called the serotonin syndrome, which may include symptoms such as confusion, hallucination, seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, fever, excessive sweating, shivering or shaking, blurred vision, muscle spasm or stiffness, tremor, incoordination, stomach cramp, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Severe cases may result in coma and even death.
I would not have recommend you to go onto duloxetine, in some, duloxetine can cause kidney and liver problems, drinking alcohol while taking this drug will unfortunately increase that risk and even more so with someone with your condition.
My dad has a lot of problems with his blood, he has had 2 embolisms and 2 strokes, now managed by a new drug, not warfarin anymore. He also takes duloxetine for burning pains in his feet. My mum, until recently, has been very healthy. She has had a sudden onset of very bad pains in her arms, shoulders and hips/thighs. Her GP thought it was polymyalgia but it isn't. She awaits an appointment with a rheumatologist in 2 weeks time.
I am taking DULOXETINE 60MG.
Then I thought well maybe it is related to my heart because of the palpatations and all of a sudden my blood pressure is high and doctor put me on metropropol. So after all of the cardiac tests I am fine...but I have been doing some research and am wondering has anyone else ever gotten that feeling of brain fog. I get tired, my muscle hurt. Which I know are symptoms of fibro. I am going to blood work soon I am just wondering if anyone else has similar symptoms.
I did take Duloxetine previously for pain (adjunct to the Celebrex) and it did help, but my GP is skeptical that Gabapentin would help even if combined with Duloxetine. Does anyone else have Osteoarthritis and is unable to take NSAIDS and have you found a medication that works? Thanks in advance for your replies.
Hi, drugs like phenytoin, carbamazepine, gabapentin, and pregabalin, tricyclic antidepressants like amitryptline and duloxetine are some of the alternatives. But every drug has got side effects, so it is more of hit and trial to find out the right medicine for right candidate.
Individual’s body respond differently to different drugs depending upon their genetic make up and metabolism.
It is effective for major depressive disorder and it is as effective as venlafaxine in generalised anxiety disorder. It is well tolerated and is considered a first line treatment strategy. Duloxetine failed the US approval for stress urinary incontinence amidst the concerns about liver toxicity and suicidal events; however, it was approved for this indication in Europe and Canada.
I was on that for several years and did better than anything else but my neuro wanted me off it, so I agreed to go with the Duloxetine.
There are options.
