Brief Answer:
CBD slows metabolism of Cymbalta

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

CBD interacts with other medications with the metabolizing pathway which are used by clearance of other medications. Although the interaction between CBD and Gabapentin is not very clear but CBD is established agent for metabolism of Duloxetine and can increase the concentration of Cymbalta by inhibiting metabolism.

In my opinion the use of CBD should be best avoided as far as possible when you are already receiving Cymbalta and Gabapentine.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
