Cymbalta, which is in a class of medications known as serotin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), is used to treat depression. Cymbalta, taken in combination with another drug for depression called monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), may result in serious, sometimes fatal reactions. Adverse side effects include high body temperature, coma and seizures, or convulsions.

MAOI drugs include brands such as Nardil (phenelzine sulfate), Parnate (tranylcpromine sulfate), Marplan (isocarboxazid) and other brands.

Other adverse Cymbalta side effects include:

• High blood pressure
• Mania
• Seizures

• Prozac
