I’ve taken both drugs at separate times. I highly doubt that it would be advisable to take both together. Cymbalta has strong side effects such as nausea until your body adjusts.

I just started taking Cymbalta to hopefully help with my nerve pain. Dr said it was a good add on med and that she sees good results from patients on it. I’m desperate so I’m willing to try anything.
This is my third day on it and I can attest to the nausea. The first day was horrific with bad headache, very tired, nausea and vomiting so bad. Second day I took it and did nothing all day. I was very tired and felt awful and still had nausea but only threw up once. Today, my third dose, I haven’t taken yet. I’m trying to decide whether I should wait and take before bed.
Either way, I will take it and I’ll suffer through the side effects for a week or two with the hope it will help my pain. Like I said, I’m desperate at this point.
I was put on gabapentin in 2017 for pain and I couldn’t function on it. I was walking around like a zombie at work and could barely hold my head up so I told dr I wasn’t taking it anymore.
I hope you get some relief. I know how bad pain can take over your life.
Good luck.
