Both meds work with serotonin & norepinephrine, so you can only take one or the other. I recently added Wellbutrin in the morning. It increases energy and levels of dopamine. It's helping a lot. There is a generic, even in the extended release version.

Don't take the 2 together..way too dangerous. I know from workin in psych that Cymbalta works for a small group of people with pain. I never tried cymbalta because of the side effects. Make sure whoever you see knows all meds you are on. Cymbalta and Effexor should nevet be taken together.

Cybalta makes me feel like a zoombie😟 hate this stuff

I'm off the Cymbalta . I'm on effexor gabapentin clonazepam amitriptyline topamax muscle relaxer et . It's insane

I'm on Cymbalta, Lyrica, Prozac, Clonazepam & Doxepin. I feel like a bloated mess.
