It looks like high norepinephrine levels are associated with irritability (from my web-searching). I became more irritable as I increased my dosage of Cymbalta, which could be from the norepinephrine...? My question is about Strattera. My doctor is considering that I give it a try, but I'm wondering what kind of reaction I will have based on my Cymbalta experience. Or is it just a gamble like everything else?
Experiences or thoughts?

Its hard to say. At a guess I'd say the stat. would be more similar to reboxetine, a nordrenline reuptake inhibitor, but who knows, I have only tried the rebox. I got very grumpy on rebox - which become only apparent after my trial with the drug -- my friends where like 'you aren't so mean anymore'....
Kind regards
Meri

Hmm I got a little feisty whenever my cymbalta dose went up. I'm on 90 mg now. However, after about a week, seems to calm down and then I feel more stable. so?
I also take 200 mg provigil. The 90 mg dose of cymbalta gives me a lot of daytime fatigue...which I haven't gotten rid of. Oh well. (note- no extra b*tchiness due to provigil, in my experience)
