Hello,
Thanks for posting you query.
Conscious collapse that you experienced could be a syncope or pre-syncope. Such episodes of syncope can occur due to drugs that you are taking.
Cymbalta or duloxetine is a selective norepinephrine receptor inhibitor which can cause sudden drop in blood pressure and collapse.
Other drug that you are taking is endep which contains amitryptiline. Amitryptiline is a tricyclic antidepresent. It can cause irregular heart beats and heart block which can lead to collapse or loss of of consciousness.
An ECG recorded at the time of syncopal episode can help you for diagnosis.
It is better to get evaluated from a cardiologist as there is risk of similar episodes in future.
If you need more information please let me know.
Regards

What about the Deralin, does that cause the blood pressure to drop as well, & does it interact with the other medication???.

Hello!
Thanks for reply.
Deralin(propranolol) has no direct interaction with other medicines but it can cause hypotension or drop in blood pressure.
