> > It's impossible to predict reactions to drug combos. The combo you describe sounds reasonable to me. Basically an ssri and snri together, both at low doses. Milnacipran is combined with ssris, so you aren't alone in that. And your response is not weird either. That's why they do combine them. I've never heard of it combined with cymbalta, but that means nothing.

I am of the opinion most patients are overdosed on supposedly normal doses, causing both undo side effects and undo negative physiological and genetic changes. Some people need a high dose or a supposedly normal dose, but I see too much risk in automatically assuming me or you or anyone else is in that camp until proven.

In,[...(Milnacapran) combined with cymbalta..means nothing...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. does the combination have no possible reactions?
B. If there could be a reaction, is that reaction meaningless?
C. there are no published reports of an adverse reaction with them combined.
D. there is a published report that states that there is no possible way for there to be an adverse reaction with tem combined.
E. something else
