SNRIs have been known to cause hypomania in people with bipolar. However, this risk is significantly reduced if you are on a therapeutic dose of a mood stabilizer. In general, SNRIs can be safely added on top of a mood stabilizer, of course with careful monitoring for signs of hypomania.

> Thanks for the suggestion, Phillipa. In your work have you known BP patients who have been on Cymbalta? No hypomania? I like the side effect of weight loss! I see my pdoc next week, maybe I can convince him to let me give Cymbalta a try. Lyrica sounds effective but scary with side effects and addiction concerns... plus weight gain :-(
