I recently was prescribed Cymbalta 20mg and Ambilify 5mg I took the Cymbalta first in the morning and a few hours later I was very anxious and restless like I was on an overdose of caffeine. I took a half of the Ambilify assuming it would slow me down as it was supposed to cause drowsiness. Within another couple of hours I was paranoid about my husband because he was out of town. I got so upset from ideas I knew were not true but I could control them. It was horrible. I am never like this, I do have some issues with unclear thinking as far as my perception of situations, but this was intense and scary? what happened? Has anyone else had a reaction like this?
I really felt like I was on the track to drug induced temporary psychosis. I couldn't believe how I was feeling and couldn't wait for it to go away.
Has anyone taken Cymbalta with Ambilify and had Paranoia?

Hello ndomnic. Best you not take either drug and talk to your prescribing physician. I believe that you're having a adverse effect to the abilify. But, I'm not a chemist or a doctor, so you might ask your doctor to confirm, or get her/his opinion. I hope you do feel better soon, best of wishes,pledge
