Has anyone ever tried this combination and in what dosage?

Thanks!!

did u get headaches, or nervousness with cymbalta? i was thinking of taking cymbalta because of the fibromyalgia. but i didnt do well on wellbutrin so ithink cymbalta would be worse. i would rather go with an SSRI or 5htp, before i even tried st john's wort. st john's wort is a terrible herbal remedy, with many drug-herb interactions.
