I'm on Cymbalta for back pain and I'm not really sure it's doing anything. But I've noticed an increase in my blood pressure and wonder if Cymbalta might be part of the reason?
Is it possible that Cymbalta would cause my blood pressure to go up?

Cymbalta definitely caused me to have high blood pressure. I also had high cholesterol and high liver enzymes. First time I’d ever had trouble with any of those issues. When I slowly tapered off Cymbalta everything went back to normal.

Cymbalta definitely cause my blood pressure to rise. I had never had high blood pressure until I was taking it.
I recently withdrew off of Cymbalta, under my doctors supervision. Even thought it’s an unpleasant withdrawal, it was the best thing I could have done. My blood pressure returned to normal, my ears stopped ringing, I lost weight and I just felt so much better overall.
