anybody get a rash....

Posted by lemon68 on January 31, 2005, at 21:22:38

from either Cymbalta, Abilify, or Klonopin? Are any of these known for skin irritation or rashes?

I had been taking all 3 for a few months - I thought stopping Cymb. would do it, but I might be wrong, as it looks like it's still here. And it's a neato red rash on my face, so sticking it out with the offending med is not a consideration...

thanx

Rash is listed as a frequent side effect on the Cymbalta insert under "Other Adverse Events Observed During the Premarketing Evaluation..." PLEASE SEARCH / READ the PDF file at http://pi.lilly.com/us/cymbalta-pi.pdf

HealthSquare says rash is a common side effect of Abilify http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/abi1653.htm

Says it is a less common or rare side effect for Klonopin.

So it looks like Cymbalta or Abilify are the most likely culprits.

I have been on Cymbalta for almost 6 weeks. About 2 weeks ago I woke up with a rash that spread from my neck to my thighs. My skin was raised, red and itchy. My hands and feet were swollen. It lasted for 2 days and I have had no sign of it since though the swelling to a lot longer to go down. I visited the doc and he felt it was an allergic reaction rather than a side effect to Cymbalta, but as I say, it is gone and has not returned. Must have been a freak allergic reaction to someting else.
