Re: Cymbalta and other meds - Seritonin Syndrome

[Guest guest]

I had been experiencing spastic body movements and mental confusion with the inability to talk correctly. I even went to the ER because hubby thought I was having a stroke.When I saw my rheumy for the first time and told him about it, he looked at my list of meds and said, stop taking the buspirone immediately. He said the combination of that and cymbalta was throwing me into a seritonin syndrome attack.This can kill!! There is a list of med combinations that you cannot take or it will cause this dangerous reaction.Hugs,Annie

and desyrel along with cymbalta. I just couldn't think of the right

words,,, like serotonin.syndrome...

I just to get to the bottom of this...
