I do have a back injury and quit Norco 10-325 due to it controlling my life for too long. Would a higher dose of Cymbalta help? I also felt very focused the very first time using Adderal IR 10mg but never had that feeling since then and I am now on 20 mg xr. Is it me or am I possibly needing a higher dose of Adderall? Im a big guy 6ft 1 in 245 lbs.

You can always check for potential drug interactions easily by going to the drug interaction checker on this page. Look at the top of the page by the search box just directly above the "Drug Search" button. It's a great feature available to all members here as a benefit from the site.
LOTS of drug combinations pose what drugs.com calls a "moderate" potential for interaction. The combination you ask about is referred to as a "major" potential interaction. The duloxetine in the Cymbalta and the amphetamine in the Adderall are not a healthy mix. I don't want to question your dr as I am certainly not qualified to do that. But you need to be aware of the potential for problems that exist here. This could be a serious situation. Not judging you just pointing out the obvious. Hope you take the time to read the information on the interaction checker and proceed with caution.
I strongly suggest that you do the interaction check yourself on the checker at the top of the page. No reason for me to write it all out when you can easily read it yourself and have something to refer to. Best of luck to you and please be very careful. God bless.   |
