Does anyone know of any interactions taking Cymbalta and Ambien together. Such as worsening depression, mood changes,suicidul thoughts, and knowledgable information/facts why these two drugs should not be taken together?

Hi Sweetchild

I wouldn't think there would be any interaction between Cymbalta and Ambien as they work on different brain chemicals. However, what you describe could well be from Cymbalta itself. Perfectly well people have been known to become suicidal on anti-depressants. It doesn't mean ALL anti-depressants will affect a person that way. It just means that the one that does is unsuitable for that person. I suggest you contact the treating DR ASAP.

Hope that helps
Junior

Can't add anything to what Junior's said, except that I've seen more than one person post here who's on both Cymbalta and Ambien. You may be able to find their posts with the search facility.
