Does anyone have any experience with taking Stablon and Cymbalta at the same time? I know that one is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor and the other a reuptake enhancer--and intuitively, one might think they cancel each other out--but, I don't think it's that simple.
I have been on Stablon (4x12.5 mg/day) and Wellbutrin (2x150 mg/day) for a about 6 weeks. I originally was only taking 3 Stablon & 1 Wellbutrin, but that didn't feel effective. My guess is that the bulk of the effectiveness now is coming from Wellbutrin.
I have taken SSRIs before and quit mainly because of their typical side effects. I've taken Cymbalta before as well as know, for me, its action is swift and effective, but also causes the typical SSRI side effects.
I wonder if the addition of Stablon might negate some of the "soaking-in-serotonin" side effects of Cymbalta, while not compromising efficacy?
Any thoughts on or experiences with Cymbalta (or SSRI) and Stablon would be much appreciated.
