thanks Jay and P, I didn't think it was serotonin syndrome either, I did have a high temp, which is still there but lower now. I know Edronax is a NRI and it was working miracles for me but it really pooped out very quickly, that's why lamictal was added. I didn't get the rash. My pdoc was too busy thinking about how to keep the Edronax working and then his trip to Spain popped up. I was having hallucination, mild ones out of the corner of my eyes. Jumping at spiders that weren't there, etc...
It must have been a bad reaction to the cymbalta, 2 hours after my 1st dose it started in my legs and I have RLS and there is no way that could push through 6mg of clonazepam, then the fever started. I was sweating so bad but shivering, freezing cold and sleepy. No flu or infection manifested. The GP who picked it up used to work as the intake GP at a psych facility here for years. He said he had never seen anything like it happen so quickly. Who knows?
Anyway we have Strattera here too, but it's off label for depression. If I decide to give anything a go I think it will be Zyban next if I start crashing again. That's off label for depression but I can get it cheap for smoking for about 3 months. I need to give up anyway. What do you think? The 3 best meds I've ever responded to over the last 17+ years have been Edronax, modafinil and ropinirole. The other AD's have been a nightmare and I'm very wary of them.
Yes I've had my thyroid checked about 4 times, perfect every time. I seem to respond better to NE and DA action. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Peace! confused, brain zapping C.
