cymbalta and tripleptal side effects?

Posted by keeppluggin on January 24, 2007, at 11:25:43

I have been taking 60 mg of Cymbalta and 600 mgs of trileptal for unipolar depression for 1.5 years. About six weeks ago, I started to feel dizziness/unsteadiness that has been with me since (some days more so than others). Blood work was done and nothing abnormal was noted.

Is it possible that the drugs or interaction of the two could have caused this so long after I started them? Or should I be looking at other causes?

Any thoughts?

Sounds strange that it would be the meds after all this time but anything is possible. What does you doc say? Have you had a physical lately? Love Phillipa

did they measure your blood sodium? trileptal can lower blood sodium, and lots of antidepressants can too (I dont know if cymbalta is one of them).
