Hi Em,
I just recently tried Cymbalta at about 5mg (I took individual pellets about 50). I started to become more agitated and anxious. I'm on 450mg of Trileptal and 25mg of Seroquel (BP II) and am in a mild/mod depression with anxiety. I had to stop it after about three weeks. Looks like I'll have to go back to Paxil as that did work for me, I just hate the w/drawals.
How's it working for you?

Maybe it's that "It's new so I'm gonna start prescribing it a lot" thing. Or maybe she's just happy with what it's doing for some of her patients. Even though I was envisioning trying an older drug, I have no reason to not be open-minded about it. I used to feel hopeful when trying new medication. Now I just dread it. Will report back in a week or so.
