> **I wondered if the fact that my meds were all over the place from having just been in the hospital (depression was that bad) was causing my bizarre reactions. But hearing from others on this board, most of us seem to be very sensitive to it, especially bipolars...
I am Bipolar Type 2 and historically have needed the lowest, or less than the lowest, therapeutic dose for many drugs I've taken, but I was getting a great effect on Cymbalta at 60mg. I had to drop to 40mg because my blood pressure was up a little. I think this probably would not be a good drug for bipolars as a monotherapy, but in conjunction with a mood stabilizer (I take Trileptal), I think it could be helpful for many.
