When buspirone and duloxetine are taken together, duloxetine levels in your body may increase. This happens because buspirone can block how your body breaks down duloxetine, causing it to build up. Higher levels could increase side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, or nausea.

What to do: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking these medicines together. Do not stop either medication on your own. Your doctor may adjust your doses or monitor you more closely to keep you safe.
