>From what I have seen, 120 mg/day of Cymbalta can be more effective than 60 mg/day in a large number of people suffering from depression. It is thought by some that there is a small risk of developing serotonin syndrome when combining fentanyl with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug (SSRI and SNRI) like Cymbalta, but the rate of occurrence is deemed to be rare.
I agree that it is very rare. Rare to the extent that it's not really worth thinking about when combining these two meds. Both cause their own side effects but SS isn't a major concern. Due to the potency of fentanyl, the dose needs careful adjustment, but this is true with or without Cymbalta.
