What Are The Side Effects Of Cymbalta?

hello...have a question! I take Cymbalta 60 mg once daily for my diabetic neuropathy. I used to take it twice daily until my new insurance would not cover twice daily. My old physician said this could also be used for my depression and anxiety. Since going down to once daily I feel I am in need of additional antidepressant which will also help with my anxiety. I did try Prozac for two months and was not good for me with bad side effects. I do have a referral for psych consult although havent made appt at the present time. My question is would I be able to add either Zoloft or Lexapro without going over on the seratoinin

Hello,
Thank you for trusting hCM

You can all Zoloft to Cymbalta.
However, I would recommend discontinuing Prozac before getting on Zoloft t prevent serotonin syndrome.
