A member asked:
Is it safe to be taking cymbalta, effexor (venlafaxine) and valium together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple Psych MEds: Unless there is a strong reason to, Effexor (venlafaxine) and Cymbalta work by the same mechanism, your risk for blood pressure will increase a lot valium is like xanax but much longer acting to calm anxiety, help with sleep and panic etc.
