> I am wondering if I'm on one too many meds. I was given my first injection of Invega Sustenna last Thurs and 2nd dose yesterday. I also take the following:

I would just add that there is a small possibility that Cymbalta would interact with trazodone to produce serotonin syndrome (serotonin toxicity). This can occur whenever two or more drugs act synergistically to increase serotonin activity. Theoretically, the combining of two drugs like Cymbalta and trazodone can do this, as they are both serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Personally, I would not be too concerned, though. However, I thought I would be remiss had I not mentioned the potential interaction.

I'm glad that you continue to feel better.
