What muscle relaxants can you take with Cymbalta?

Answer 1

You can, but there is a potential for various adverse effects. This can range from not feeling the effects of the muscle relaxant due to prozac's (fluoxetine) negative effect on some of the enzymes that the body typically uses to breakdown chemicals that enter the body, to making the reason for taking prozac (anxiety, depression) worse upon introducing the muscle relaxant. I am not a Dr by any means, but I am prescribed prozac and I took the initiative to learn as much as possible about it. I also enjoy benzos (muscle relaxants) and other pill formed narcotics. There are 2 main different types of muscle relaxants, but in reality nearly all types out there can have different reactions. My suggestion, ALWAYS due your research, even if that means looking at a pharmacology reference book at the library to calling any pharmacy and ask about adverse effects between the 2 drugs. Once this is done, proceed with caution. OD death can happen with benzos, usually due to respiratory failure. Because the prozac can create the effects I talked about earlier, you potentially can take too much. So don't go crazy on the benzos, no matter how much fun it can be. And again, as I said before, DO YOUR RESEARCH. Diving into cloudy water where you can not see the bottom can kill you, but once you know the correct depth, your chances of survival increase dramatically. Hope this helps.

Lastly, since most people I know that like popping benzos also enjoy other pills, you should know the huge risk of taking prozac & opioids (percocet, morphine, roxie, oxy, fentanyl, even methadone, suboxone, and subutex). This can lead to a condition that will ruin your life called Serotonin Syndrome. I don't have time to go into this syndrome, but it sucks and has even been known to cause fatalities.
