In reply to Invega Sustenna and 4 other meds, posted by vbs on April 26, 2013, at 20:02:58
> I am wondering if I'm on one too many meds. I was given my first injection of Invega Sustenna last Thurs and 2nd dose yesterday. I also take the following:
>
> Zyprexa 20 mg
> Saphris 10 mg
> Cymbalta 60 mg
> trazodone 50 mg

> And I'm still hearing voices! What's up w/ that? Any input / feedback on my drug cocktail would be appreciated.I would just add that there is a small possibility that Cymbalta would interact with trazodone to produce serotonin syndrome (serotonin toxicity). This can occur whenever two or more drugs act synergistically to increase serotonin activity. Theoretically, the combining of two drugs like Cymbalta and trazodone can do this, as they are both serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Personally, I would not be too concerned, though. However, I thought I would be remiss had I not mentioned the potential interaction.
I'm glad that you continue to feel better.
