Welcome! Yes, as soon as I was dx'd last year they had me WEAN off Cymbalta. I'm really surprised your doctor didn't do that and in the meantime add a mood stabilizer to help you. My pdoc is adding a small dose of Cymbalta back in because my anxiety and OCD is really bad right now. The only caveat was that it had to be the lowest dose and with a mood stabilizer so that hopefully it wouldn't trigger mania. I'm on Lamictal and Gabapentin so hopefully nothing will happen. I wish you much luck! Keep coming back. This group has a wealth of information. Hugs
