Good luck.

He was given it while he was in a psych hospital for 6 days. When he came home he seemed better than I'd ever seen him and he always complained that meds never worked for him, now it makes sense. But exactly a week to the day he started the Cymbalta he flipped out. I have tried to call the hospital but am having no luck talking to an actual person and I don't know where T is. He's cut off all contact from his doctors.
I KNEW it was medication but I wasn't aware about the hypomania. He showed several symptoms of the allergic reaction 2 days prior to this episode which was the red flag for me. I even took him (although he fought me) to the ER and they said he was completely fine!
