Yes it's possible to go manic on those meds considering the potency of cymbalta and considering that people can go manic on just about anything. If i were you I wouldn't want to ride it out because you don't know where that ride might take you, it might just be a benign little up without the down or it might turn into the dreaded aftermath of hypomania; DEPRESSION. And that's a horrible trip to take.My philosophy is do whatever it takes to prevent depression and then fine tune it later in regards to feeling doped up on the topamax and what-not. Get yourself stabilized then deal with optimizing the good effects and getting rid of the side effects (which absolutely is possible, but just takes time)
