I've been on these medicines:
Abilify 20mg - since 2004
Lithium 600mg x 2 - since 1999
Cymbalta - 30mg - since 2 weeks ago
Klonopin - 0.5mg x 3 - since 2004
Trazodone - 100mg - since about a year
Before I was put on Cymbalta, I thought I was pretty stable until I started having confusion and disorientation, obsessive worries and torments about certain things in my life, and generally a depressed outlook. So the doctor put me on Cymbalta.
2 weeks later I feel ok partway thru the day after taking Cymbalta in the morning, but now at about 5-6pm until I take my night meds, I feel empty in my head (only way I can describe it), and a headache. My spirits are ok, but I'm concerned about what's going on (or not going on) in my brain.
I feel like a complete test pig for the doctors. I know they're doing the best they can, but this is horrible. And getting off Cymbalta would be even more horrible. Any suggestions on what I could tell my doctor, besides what I've written here above?
