Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I used to always take it at night so I could " sleep off " any drowsiness. I never specifically noticed anything though. I used to take all my meds at night until I got ones I had to take multiple times a day. Now I have to take it in the morning because I take something else at night that the doctor said can conflict with the Cymbalta. (Nortriptylene). I don't notice any particular drowsiness in the am. I take the Cymbalta, Tramadol and Lyrica together in the morning. Don't notice any side effects.
