Question : Can you take Duloxetine HCl 60MG and Zyprexa 5mg together?

Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (16 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
there is no absolute contraindication

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

duloxetine and zyprexa are both central nervous system suppressants. Using them together may increase the risk for side effects from central nervous system suppression like alertness, mental capability, motor coordination, respiratory movements, etc
Despite that they can be used together as long as the patient is closely monitored for side effects.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
