Will There Be Interaction Between Ritalin And Cymbalta?

I am a 57 year old woman with a long history of depression and anxiety. My doctor recently diagnosed Adult ADD and started me on Ritalin. I am up to 15mg/day in two doses. I've been reading and saw that Prozac may have an interaction with Ritalin. I am on Prozac and Cymbalta. Should I be concerned about this interaction?
Thank you very much,
Kathleen
