A recent study shows that the taking of Cymbalta with magnesium oxide (an antacid) causes a reduction in blood levels of Cymbalta. This correlates with the reports from ehealthme where the number three reported effect by taking magnesium with Cymbalta is a decreased effect of Cymbalta. This makes one rethink the use of magnesium supplements with the use of Cymbalta and that the combination may make withdrawal worse.

although the serum duloxetine level was significantly decreased. However, the antidepressant-like effects of a duloxetine reagent were significantly attenuated by the co-administration of magnesium oxide. These results suggest that duloxetine and magnesium oxide directly interact and that such interactions affect the absorption and antidepressant-like effects of duloxetine.

Yes - and magnesium oxide is in EVERYTHING as it is the cheapest. It is not readily absorbed, but is used in many multi vits and as fillers for a number of other supplements, so watchful on eye on what you are buying.

 

Exactly like I found with my super-absorbant iron... One can never be too careful when mixing any two of anything!!

Good point IUN. Going back and considering that many members used magnesium with a wide variety of effects. Most magnesium they used was in the oxalate or chelated forms. It works great for some an made things worse for others. I suspect that the ones that took it during their withdrawal made have been made worse by the magnesium depending on the form it was in and if it decreased Cymbalta levels in the blood. If I get time some day I will research back and see if I can find a pattern.

For now I would consider the use of magnesium during withdrawal suspect.

I had time and read it all! Surprises and surprises!

I guess that when a new member arrives, this should be the first asked question.

How many thousands don't know that. Do you think that goes for every antidepressants?

And in what food do we find magnesium? Thank you!

I did a search of he medical journals and found no research on magnesium in relations to other antidepressants. Obviously a lot of work needs to be done on this subject.

Magnesium is found in many vegetables but especially abundant in beans.

Absolutely. There are so many of these "super" absorbant types out there which should absolutely not be taken with a majority of medication. At least not at the same time. I anticipate that because of metabolisms and so forth that such issues can be subjective to a degree as well. It is research that doesn't hold much in the way of recognition and funding I guess - so like everything else, it is a case of waiting for the unsuspecting public to suffer first!!
