Taking Cymbalta For Depression, Pain, Advised Starting Wellbutrin. Unable To Quit Smoking. Can Both Be Taken Together?

I am on 60 mg of Cymbalta in am and 30 mg in pm. My therapist wants me to start on adding wellbutrin . I am a chain smoker and am sick to death of trying and failing to quit. I take Cymbalta for depression and pain. I tried to go off several ago, and could not stand the pain. Do you see any problem with taking these together and eventually going off wellbutrin (sp)?

In my opinion you can take these two medicines together. Wellbutrin is known for quitting smoking and it is a good antidepressant as well. You can switch to it later.
