Hi everybody,

To make a long story short, I'll cut right to the chase.

I've been on Cymbalta for 3 years after many different meds. I've been diagnosed with depression and panic disorder. Cymbalta helped mostly

However, 2 months ago I started working out. This included weightlifting 3 times a week. I noticed that I was in a way better mood, but my sleep was getting decreased. I could normally sleep 10 hours easily and now I was getting 5-6 with no real issues. A month after starting I noticed I just could not sleep anymore. I wasn't able to fall asleep. My doc recommended we cut the cymbalta and taper off. In the mean time, I was using Xanax to sleep. It's been over a month and I'm still having the same issues. I tried Ambien, which didn't do anything. My mind feels like it's constantly on. When I take a drug like Ambien of NyQuil, it makes my body tired, but not my head.

Could I be going through a hypo manic episode? I
