A member asked:

Could a daily dosage of 180 mg of cymbalta (duloxetine hydrochloride) & 10 mg of brintellix (vortioxetine hydrobromide) risk serotonin syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question.: The dose of Cymbalta is high. The high dose and the combination with Trintellix is unusual and carries risks, one of which is serotonin syndrome. But the reasons for those medicines and the way the risks apply to you -- these are individual matters to be discussed with the prescribing doctor.
