Cymbalta can it cause high blood pressure

[Footloosemom]

With taking Cymbalta my blood pressure has gone through the roof very high now on high blood pressure pills and still high can taking this med be causing it.. My doctor say he does not know .. who does know.. How can I find out.. in the 175-181 range

Same problem but mine is more of a racing heart, high pulse thing and now that the heart appears to be OK that want to increase the cymbalta from 60 to 120???????????

I have fibro and it has helped the pain but I do not know what is worse. I've been looking for others who may have had similar problems and also if it is effected any heart valves, mine are mildly regurgitating????????

I've decided to stop cymbalta because it has caused increase in heart rate and have been investigating this drug, withdrawal etc... and alot of my chest pain, heart rate, high blood pressure etc... can be related to the drug. You may want to investigate as I have because it may not appear to be helping us as much as we think it is. Good Luck, Deb

I have never had high BP until I started taking Cymbalta.  My doctor had the dose specially compounded to 10 mg which I tolerate.  However at this dose it does not help with fibro.

My mom started on Cymbalta this summer.  When the dose was increased to 60 mg her BP went through the roof.  We have backed down to 30 mg and hope it stabilizes.
