Cymbalta Wellbutrin: Cymbalta and Wellbutrin can be safely combined. The Cymbalta levels may be increased, but I have not seen this become a problem. The addition of Wellbutrin to SSRI antidepressants is a well studied augmenting method.

If you are not comfortable or unsure about the medication your Doctor prescribed then it is advisable to get a second opinion from a Psychiatrist after you have had a complete physical exam by your Primary Care Physician to rule out any underlying illness. A Clinical Psychologist can also help you with psychotherapy.
