What Are The Side Effects Of Cymbalta?

I was checking to see if some of my newer symptoms might be the result of reaction to Cymbalta, and it seems there are a few. Then I checked interactions between the other pills I am taking and Cymbalta and Wellbutrin combo seems to be a serious no-no.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I wouldn't say a serious interaction. There is some possibility of serotonin syndrome, whenever two or more antidepressants are used. But this is not commonly seen even when they are used together. Serotonin syndrome includes flushing, diarrhea and confusion. You would know it.

Each antidepressant itself may have adverse effects. These can be quite variable. Irritability, anxiety, insomnia are associated with the stress hormone elevation effect of Cymbalta.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
