This may give us a clue as to why the feeling feverish(body temperature regulation) issues with Cymbalta!

http://en.Wikipedia....Norepinephrine( got here looking up Noradrenergic)
Arrived here from:
This article:
Exacerbation of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Due to Duloxetine which can be found :

I am posting the article under : Cymbalta's pros and cons:(just cons) which is from information on the web site www.crazymeds.Com
Be Well !

In case anyone had trouble accessing the Wikipedia page here is the first part, as Norepinephrine has dule roles I imagine that explains some of the seemingly contradictory symptoms we experience including temperature & breathing issues!
Be Well !

P.S. the bold in the following article is by me.


Norepinephrine (INN) (abbreviated norepi or NE) or noradrenaline (BAN) is a catecholamine with dual roles as a hormone and a neurotransmitter.

As a stress hormone, norepinephrine affects parts of the brain where attention and responding actions are controlled. Along with epinephrine, norepinephrine also underlies the fight-or-flight response, directly increasing heart rate, triggering the release of glucose from energy stores, and increasing blood flow to skeletal muscle.

However, when norepinephrine acts as a drug it will increase blood pressure by its prominent increasing effects on the vascular tone (due stimulation of alpha-Receptors). This increase in vascular resistance is triggering a compensatory reflex that overcomes its direct stimulatory effects on the heart. The reflex, called the baroreceptor reflex, results in a drop in heart rate called reflex bradycardia.
