Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

This is a safe combination of medications. Oxycodone and Cymbalta taken 5 hours ago in combination with Ativan 1mg will not harm you. You can even take an additional 0.5mg of Ativan for panic if you need to. Do not drink alcohol for at least 24 hours.
