Default I dont think there is anything to worry about...

I know so many people that take cymbalta and lyrica at the same time inculding myself a few years back and I had no problems. The combination of Cymbata and lyrica/neurontin is a great combo for rsd. I take cymbalta an tramadol, and the pharmisist tells me that and i say i have been taken them for months with no problems. I wouldnt be afraid to take them. You will never know until you take them and the doctor wouldnt give them if he didnt feel that it was safe! I am no doctor, I just speak from experience from myself and others that are on those same meds with no problems!

Alot depends on the dose of Tramadol used. Tramadol has some serotonergic potential and can be additive with SSRIs. Cymbalta is a mixed SSRI + SSNI product.

Here is a drug checker:

Another good resource is www.rxlist.com for details on most common drugs used today. Use Ultram for the search on tramadol there.

That's good to know that you take them both with no bad interactions. My big concern I guess is that if there was a problem, how would I or the doctor know since I already have all the serious symptoms that you are supposed to look for? But I guess we do have to trust that our doctors know what they are doing.
