Brief Answer:
no interaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

cymbalta and augmentin have no documented interaction. Perhaps the symptom could be attributed to the infection itself... You haven't mentioned what kind of infection you had but infections may cause various general symptoms. Each drug (without interacting with the other) may cause various central nervous system side effects. And another explanation could be that reducing duloxetine dosage may result in worsening symptoms.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.

Kind Regards!
