A member asked:
Can i take cymbalta and paxil (paroxetine) cr together ? will anyone of these drugs cause the other to not work or possibly lower its effect ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ans: Cymbalta and Paxil (paroxetine) interaction may cause serotonin syndrome, which is from too much serotonin in the nervous system. Symptoms are dose-related and potentially quite serious. Discuss with prescribing doctor. I hope this helps.
