A member asked:
Can i take both cymbalta (duloxetine) and elavil for nerve pain?

Yes: But you may need lower doses of the elavil (amitriptyline). The combination can increase the risk of side effects, such as low sodium.

Yes, but...: You need to be careful of something called serotonin syndrome. The combination of these two drugs (both of which act to increase serotonin levels) can in rare situations cause a severe bad reaction.
