Brief Answer:
Lyrica and Cymbalta can interact
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again and welcome.
Thank you for your follow up query.
Out of the list of medications you are on, the only two drugs that can interact when used together are cymbalta (duloxetine) and lyrica (pregabalin). When used together these medications can have side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating and at times an altered mental state as well.
If you experience any of the above mentioned interaction effects, I would urge you to schedule a visit with your doctor for a change in medication. Please note that not all individuals experience these interactions.
I hope you found my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications.
God bless.
