People with multiple sclerosis (MS) sometimes take Cymbalta (duloxetine) to treat depression associated with MS. Cymbalta is an antidepressant of the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) class. It is taken once or twice daily in delayed-release capsule form. Common side effects include nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, constipation, decreased appetite, and excessive sweating. Rare but serious side effects include worsening depression, suicidal thoughts, liver toxicity, and serotonin syndrome.

That's something best discussed with your doctor. But since it is SNRI (and it already is antidepressant) maybe it would be some different kind meds. For example I'm taking Venlafaxine which is also SNRI and after some time I started also taking Bupropion (NDRI) I think they are combining different kinds like this to avoid serotonin syndrome which happens if your body gets too much of serotonine.
