Last week (Thursday) my doctor lowered my Cymbalta dose from 60 mg to 30 mg and she started me on Lamotrigine (Lamictal). We are slowly increasing the dosage of the Lamictal and I'm only taking 25 mg a day right now, so I don't think the Lamictal is affecting me yet. However, the withdrawal symptoms from the decrease in Cymbalta are ugly. I've experienced medication withdrawal before when switching antidepressants, so I'm familiar with the symptoms. I guess I'm just venting because I feel awful right now.
