Cymbalta xanax interaction

Common Questions and Answers about Cymbalta xanax interaction

cymbalta

Avatar f tn My doctor started me on 30 Mg of cymbalta which has progressed to 60 mg per day. I think it has helped but am experiencing some dizziness. Is it a drug interaction?
Avatar m tn My doctor prescribed Cymbalta and I learned after I filled it that it interacts with another medication I take, Imitrex for migraines. So I do not wish to take the Cymbalta as I fear the interaction is too great of risk. I have placed a call to the Dr. requesting a new RX today but I was wondering what if any AntiDepressents and/or anxiety medication you may be taking. I am also interested in any levels and TX you are doing. Thank you.
Avatar n tn There is no drug interaction between them, and so even if you become pregnant, there is not going to be any additional harm due to drug interaction. The safety profile of Cymbalta is not known for the unborn baby, hence it needs be taken with precaution in pregnancy. On the other hand Celebrex should be avoided during the last 3 months of pregnancy. Take care!
Avatar f tn Im on 30 mg. of cymbalta since may 8,Klonopin since april 23 and xanax since feb..tapering off xanax.......since adding cymbalta to this mixture my blood pressure has dropped as my heart rate has too........is this normal for this mixture? I dont like the cymbalta so far and i thought the klonopin was suppose to help with my tapering off xanax,i was suppose to stop xanax 2 days ago and so far i havent because im scared of withdrawals......
1689696 tn?1305819097 Thanks for your comment! I ended up getting Cymbalta 30 mg to take at night and something called Atarax 25mg that I am suppose to take 3x's a day but I take as needed it is for the hives and to take when I get panic attacks.
Avatar n tn I ran a check on the ones you listed and came up with the interaction between Cymbalta and trazodone - it says there is an increased risk of serotonin syndorme. Some of the symptoms of serotonin syndrome are: Cognitive effects: headache, agitation, hypomania, mental confusion, hallucinations, coma Autonomic effects: shivering, sweating, hyperthermia, hypertension, tachycardia, nausea, diarrhea. Somatic effects: myoclonus (muscle twitching), hyperreflexia (manifested by clonus), tremor.
Avatar f tn Since you are on a considerably high dose of tramadol yes, the interaction is significant and can indeed cause serotonin syndrome, Also since Cymbalta is a potent SNRI. Was the tramadol prescribed with by a doctor knowing you were using tramadol as such high dose and vice versa? Reading that is serotonin syndrome on the internet won't improve your situation. I repeat serotonin syndrome is a medical condition that rarely cause trouble. If you experience fever then its time to go to the ER.
Avatar m tn i am currently taking 2mg of xanax 2x a day i also take 30 mg oxycodone 4x a day my dr retired no new dr will write both meds i am having xanax withdrawal.
Avatar f tn He has me on 4 different meds 2) anti depressants- cymbalta 20 mg and celexa 40 mg 1) mood stablizer- Geodon 100mg and 1) anti anxiety Klohipin 2mg 3 x day. Not t mention all the other medications I take. There is a web site google med interaction checker. The 4 meds he perscribes me interact with everything so I looked at the same kinds of meds just slight difference in them and the ones I chose didnt interact with anything severly.
Avatar n tn it has been as low as 95/60 and i am not used to it being that low and i honestly dont remember what it was like pre cymbalta... i also quit xanax the same time i stopped the cymbalta, i was on the xanax for about 8 years.... needless to say it was hell, and now my hybercondria and agorophobia along with panic is coming back, but i like the fact my blood pressure is low now..... anyway is this a normal occurence or should i be worried??
Avatar f tn My biggest issue with the Xanax is relying on it for sleep. Ideally I would like to get off Xanax and Cymbalta. I'v heard some good things about cognitive behavior therapy. Thanks for your advice!
Avatar f tn I completely forgot to ask if there was an interaction between these two drugs. I may not even have to take the xanax, only if I have a panic attack will I. Does anyone know if there is an interaction between these two? Also, I took 1/2 a promethazine (phenegran) for nausea in the AM around 7 because the antibiotics made me feel like I was going to throw up. Is there any reaction between the things I just named? Please let me know!
1237495 tn?1268837283 I got off of the cymbalta because I dumbly told myself I was fine and no longer needed it. Then boom... everything and more came and hit me like a train. After reading that, I definitely have symptoms of agoraphobia. Not good.
Avatar m tn Is it possible these symptoms are being caused by Xanax withdrawal or interaction between Xanax and Dramamine or Azithromiacin (antiabiotic). Most of the muscle buzzing, muscle twitches and insomnia started after mixture of Dramamine and Xanax.
Avatar f tn How long does it take for the withdrawal symptons to go away? I got off Cymbalta 5/31 and had severe reactions, my dr put me on Prosac for six weeks, it helped. But I have been off Prosac since 7/25 and am still having some pretty bad withdrawal symptons. Head and body aches, electric shocks, paranoia, my feet hurt really bad, it's hard to walk on them and my ankles swell every day. Does it ever get any better?
Avatar f tn Since being on a antibotic and this cymbalta my neck feels funny and my throat feels like its got a lump of cotton in it,the cymbalta makes my mouth dry, I went to medical dr yesterday told him i thought i was allergic to meds he looked down my throat in my mouth and felt my neck and said im ok...........but its still bothering me,,,,,,,,,im thinking about stopping the cymbalta to see if it goes away.......Its really bad when i bend my head down and underneath my chin...........
Avatar f tn Im trying this cymbalta.....again but its making med feel so wierd.My d. always asks me what has worked in the past ,well so far nothing really the cymbalta seemed to work last year for awhile.
Avatar m tn It has not and I am back to taking pain meds 60mg morphine daily and 60 mg oxycodone. I have been so depressed and now I am taking 180mg of cymbalta and now xanax. I am more depressed and lost than I have ever been in my life. I can't do anything, I have no energy to do anything. I don't eat much anymore. It has been the worst for me these past few years and I am really confused. What can I do?
983594 tn?1249672009 I have been on Xanax (3mg) and cymbalta (60mg) for about 9 months now. Being on these meds, my anxiety has gone down by a lot... but the other day I had a horrible panic attack that put me in the hospital after calling 911 thinking i was going to die. Even on these meds, how can I get the anxiety to STOP!!??
Avatar n tn I take xanax for anxiety, I also have asthma. Can I take proventil with xanax? Also I heard Prozac is good for gettting off of xanax without withdrawl symtoms, is that true?
1258539 tn?1293840202 Perhaps you need a mild anti-depressive med like Cymbalta or Lexipro to go along with the xanax? I'd check with your doctor. Best wishes!
Avatar m tn got even worse, and depression now saw dr yesterday and he gave me cymbalta to start taking 30 mg for 1 week and 60 mg next 2 and added 0.5 xanax 3 times a day and to continue taking the 1 mg of klonopin twice a day. i understand the greif process and everything i am going through have talke to grief couns and they agreed that i needed something to assist the klonopin, but is the addition of cylmbalta and xanax safe.
1717715 tn?1318297295 I have been on cymbalta for 2 years now and since being on it I only have mild panic attacks. I am also on it for anxiety and panic.
Avatar f tn On april 23,08 dr added klonopin and 0.5 3 times a day and told me to cut back to 2 mg of xanax....and he added 30 mg. of cymbalta..i did that till may 8,08 when i went and seen my dr. he told me to now cut back to 1 mg. of xanax for 1 wek then stop it that is should be fine with the klonopin...
Avatar f tn I have been taking Cymbalta and Xanax at the same time for more than a year. In fact, I lost almost 30 lbs. Don't think negative. I think it depends. Some gain and sone lose weight...not sure why... Thanks!
266195 tn?1215310411 I'm currently taking xanax, and will start prozac tomorrow. Does anyone know of any possible interaction between xanax and prozac taken together? My doctor says he's not aware of anything, But I just wanted to get some opinions from people who may have first hand knowledge or know of someone who does. So I guess do benzos and ssri's mix well? I really need the xanax untill the prozac can kick in.
