"i had a terrible reaction to cymbalta called neuroleptic malignant syndrome.  stiff muscles, couldn&#039;t stand let alone walk to the phone, couldn&#039;t feel my hands and feet, fever, blood pressure through the roof. after a family member found me on the floor drooling i was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.  i realize this is a rare side effect, but it does happen.  what&#039;s great for one person may not be great for the next."
