What Causes Breathlessness While On Cymbalta, Gabapentin And Buspirone?

Hello there. I recently started this medication and shortly prior to that Buspirone 15mg. I am experiencing anxiety due to housing, disability and my ex-husband in court. All new experiences and am overwhelmed. I have nerve damage and am not mobile enough to handle all this stress. Cymbalta was given to me due to nerve pain, along with gabapentin3600, norco and baclafen. I am sensitive to mixing medications and their timing. My response is breathlessness and similar sensations to raising blood pressure, although my blood pressure is normal range. I am going to make a follow up apt with my dr. and wondering what you might add comment on due to nerve damage and pain. My leg stings, I spasm and have cold and heat sensations that are strange, also numbess. Thanks for your time

Hello,

It is not as a side effect of the drugs you are taking but primarily due to your extreme anxiety in which increased heart rate, breathlessness, palpitation, pounding heart, increased bp, doomed feelings are common.

Buspirone is used to treat anxiety and depression.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
