Does Anyone Take Cymbalta?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

My doctor wants me to add Cymbalta to Suboxone, Lyrica, and WellbutrinXL. I've heard a lot of bad stories about Cymbalta, help I'm not sure if I want to take this medication due to the side effects. Any suggestions.

I have taken Cymbalta and Wellbutrin both for several years. I really like them both. Before the Cymbalta I was on Lyrica. I to stop the Lyrica due to it making my legs and feet swell.

Sorry Kimberly about the clarity. My doctor had me on both Cymbalta and Lyrica at the same time.

Be very careful as there is a downside to these two medications as well. After a month of taking these two together I became very suicidal. It was so bad that on my way to tell my doctor that I needed help I intentionally ran a red light just hoping.
Thank God I realized then that I didn't want to hurt anyone else so I pulled into a parking lot and waited for my wife to come and get me.
I have since become an advocate to warn as many people as I can about the dangers of mixing these two drugs together.

I take Cymbalta. I threw up once, the morning after I had started it the night before, then was fine. It has helped me ALLOT, for about 8 years, but seems to have quit working now. I would recommend trying it.
