Will There Be Any Interactions Between Cymbalta And Gaia S Herbs?

I would like to begin taking Gaia s Stress Response . I am currently taking 40mg of Cymbalta at night before I go to sleep. The stress response has Holy Basil, Siberian Rhodiola, Ashwaghanha, Wild Oats milky seed fresh, and Schisandra berry. Do you know of any drug interactions between Cymbalta and any of these herbs? I forgot I had to pay for the answer. Sorry to waste your time. I can not pay right now. Take care.

Hi!

Gaia's herbs is an Ayurvedic medication which contains Ashwagandha and other herbs claimed to be effective in the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. However, there is no scientific study done to prove its efficacy and safety in those conditions.

Further, Ashwagandha may reduce the absorption of Cymbalta if taken together.

If at all you wish to take Giab's herbs you may take it after 4 hours following the intake of Cymbalta after consulting your treating doctor.

Hope these answer you query.
