[Duloxetine-Induced Hypertension: A Case Report]. Turk Psikiyatri Derg. 2016;27(1):67-9 Authors: Mermi O, Atmaca M Abstract Duloxetine, a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is used for diabetic neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia as well as major depressive disorder. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors may lead to increased blood pressure via their noradrenergic effects in addition to their cardiovascular side effects. In this paper, we report a case with increased blood pressure after the initiation of duloxetine that recovered by discontinuation of the medication. PMID: 27369688 [PubMed - in process]
