Other than the Cymbalta, what other drugs are you taking?

Without knowing or remembering anything more about you:

Get on a mood stabilizer if you aren't already. I like Trileptal or Depakote. You can titrate both rapidly. Bring the Cymbalta up to 60mg and try to keep it there. It seems like the right drug for you. You are probably responding partially and episodically to the Cymbalta because the dosage isn't high enough. If you have bipolar tendencies, your natural cycles are being amplified by the cymbalta. We don't want that. If you become manic before the mood stabilizers can take effect, use Zyprexa as an temporary mood stabilizer. Of course, if you like Zyprexa, you can stay on it. You'll just want to educate yourself as to the risk versus benefit of these medications.
