Reaction to my MED

Hi everyone, I need to know if this happens to any of you guys or is it just me.
I’m been taking Cymbalta for a while now, I take at night. Sometimes in the middle of the night I feel like this sudden shock in my body that I cannt explain. Most of the nights I go to sleep with lots of pain in my body ( I know that’s most of us). The point is, when I get that shock I get nervous, and my body aches are less. Sometimes I feel like I’m having a heart attack.
I just want to see if anyone had this kind of reaction with any of your meds.
My doctor wants to give me anxiety med. And I don’t want them I don’t think it’s that. I get scare, but not to the point of feeling like a panic attack.
Thank you.

hmn. i usually do not add more than one med at a time so i can see what reactions i get. if i dont like them i tell the doc i want to get off the drug and i ask him the safe way to do it since some drugs need to be weaned off. so please discuss this with your doc who prescribed this drug. it does seem drugs need to be tailored to the person. they are not a 'one size fits all'. So if you are not feeling right do tell the doc.. i wish you all the best for your well being

Well it does sound like a panic attack. In 2005 I had a heart cath because I was having chest pain all the time. I also had really good insurance and I am a BIG girl...but mostly good insurance..lol...anyway the dr said I had the heart of a 20 year old...i asked how to make the rest of me that good..he laughed...anyway I take atarax or vistaril at bedtime its an antihistamine. works great not addictive. Watch the cymbalta it made me suicidal.... also warm milk settles me down...hope this helps..also let your dr know...
