A member asked:
Can i take cymbalta (duloxetine) and gabapentin together?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cymbalta/gabapentin: I think both could be taken together-both are indicated for neuropathic pain and both are not habit forming.

Yes: There is no particular reason why you couldn't, although both medicines can cause sedation, so you would want to be careful about that side effect.
