Can Duloxetine And Xanax Be Taken Together?

Posted on Tue, 19 Apr 2016

Question: Hello,

My wife is taking Duloxetine for Neuropathy and Xanax for anxiety. Is this OK, since they both work for depression? Her body temp. this AM is 96.1. Could this be a side effect or interaction?

Thanks.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the depression your wife has. These medications are okay and I will not recommend any changes. Her temperature is normal and not suggestive of an interaction or side effect. Please, social support is important in managing depression, let her enjoy abundant social interaction and support.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
