PRESCRIBED FOR PAIN IN RIGHT BACK SHOULDER AND CERVICAL SPONNDOLYSIS ## Dulane contains the active ingredient Duloxetine, which is an SNRI antidepressant, but because of the way they work on brain chemicals, they have been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and appetite changes.

Severe depression taking 4 mg of clonazepam with 60 mg of Cymbalta. Also, having had 5 spinal fusions (4 posterior, one anterior), taking 3 to 4 hydrocodone 500 7500 per day. I get very depressed and suicidal. Is this a bad combination? ## It sounds like it's a bad combination for you! Have you discussed it with your doctor? Cymbalta contains the active ingredient Duloxetine, it's an SNRI antidepressant and the Clonazepam is a Benzodiazepine and both of them can backfire, in some people, and have the opposite effect of what they are supposed to do. On top of that, you're adding the narcotic Hydrocodone, which can definitely have depressant effects.
