You can overly suppress your system causing death. Never combine these medications EVER I've been taking xanax and cymbalta together for 2 years now with no adverse reactions so I'm curious about this response??

Is it safe to take a combination of 25 mg of adderall 3 times daily 60 mg of Cymbalta once daily 20 mg of corgard 2 times daily 5 mg risperdal at bedtime and 25 xanax 3 times daily?

It could be as they are all used for different things - tolerability of medication varies a lot from person to person - I am assuming the Xanax is .25 mg per day. There is a once a day xanax and adderall which may keep the levals steadier and be easier to comply with. The above answer is inconclusive (stupid), I take it that you are going to different Doctors for all these different medications because one Doctor wouldn't prescribe these combinations and you are not telling each Doctor what the other Doctors have prescribed to you and now you are scared but to answer your question, NO it is not safe, besides that, whats the use to take the Adderall 3x daily while taking Xanax 3x daily? That alone is a recipe for disaster. There is no sense in taking those two meds at the same time. You take the Adderall to boost you up,then to come down you take the Xanax, prime traits of a drug addict!!!!!!!!!!! GET HELP!!!!!!!! Your Friend, Guru U

The first answer is more correct, although, it is likely not safe in the dosage indicated. With such a stigma on these drugs for potential abuse, it is doubtful that anyone would ever medically prescribe this full combination, however, there have been cases I've witnessed where extended release forms of both Adderall and Xanax have been prescribed simultaniously with beneficial effects. I cannot speak for the other medications presented in the question. As with all medical questions, it is best to consult a doctor or medical professional. Soliciting answers from anyone less is not advised.

Can you take Cymbalta for bipolar II disorder?

Yes, I have been diagnose with BPD 2 and I am currently taken Cymbalta due to the pain I have all over my body. The doctor actually put me on it for extreme anxiety disorder however since it was not working I had my psychologist medically test me to see what disorder was going on. My body is not able to channel pain correctly and when I take Cymbalta I am able to function and carry out normal activities. Cymbalta has not helped at all with the mood swings that I experience. Sometimes I am depressed, anxiety runs me, and I have paranoia fears.

Side effects of Cymbalta and crank?

You shouldn't be concerned with the side effects while using any recreational drugs--isn't that the point? If you're asking whether you'll have a major medical reaction to crank because you're taking Cymbalta--The answer is no. If you have a severe negative reaction to crank it's because you're body does not handle it well. This has no correlation with anti-depressants.

Generally speaking, expect a headache when you're coming down off of any uppers regardless of taking prescribed anti-depressants.

Can you take Chantix and Cymbalta together?

According to the literature, there is no interaction between the two drugs. However, after you stop smoking, the doses of any medications you are using may need to be adjusted. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially insulin, blood thinners, or theophylline (Respid, Theobid, Theoclear, Theo-Dur or Uniphyl). Since smoking cessation causes a drop in dopamine levels, it might be necessary to adjust your anti-depressant dosage as well.
