A member asked:
Can venlafaxine be taken at the same time as cymbalta (duloxetine) ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't: Usually these medications are not prescribed together. They are in the same class of medications (SNRI). If your doctor has prescribed both, consult with him/her about how and when to take these and the reason.
