Dr. Sheila Calderon answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Yes: Please see your doctor. You are on almost 2 of the same medications with the Effexor (venlafaxine) and cymbalta. If you getting medication from 2 different doctors you may be getting polypharmacy. Bring your entire list of meds with you when you see a doctor. Consider learning how to meditate and control some of your physical issues which are due to nerves.
