Try not to panic. I also had a very bad reaction to Cymbalta. Contact your doc ASAP and get some info on what to do.

Cymbalta is the only AD medication that I had bad luck with, so maybe your going thru the same issue. I felt much the same way after taking Cymbalta. My throat also felt like I had a knot in it and my head was pulsating. I have taken just about every AD med known to man, including Effexor and the Cymbalta was the only one that gave me problems. Tell your doc about this for sure.

PS: Not saying that Cymbalta is a bad AD med, as it works great for many people. Just saying it gave me some pretty nasty symptoms.
