Just saw my pdoc. He didn't want to put me on an anti-depressant as they have cause me to have mixed/manic episodes in the past. He offered Tegretol but I was worried about the weight gain and I am already on Lithium. I begged my doctor for relief so he gave in and prescribed me Cymbalta. I have started it today and will see how I go. If I react it tends to be within days so I can stop it if things get worse. I am just hoping for my mood to lift and mind to clear. I see him again on Tuesday and he said if I am no better or worse he wants me IP to try more assertive med changes while being able to monitor me.

So here I go. Hoping for Cymbalta to work but worried it will make me mixed. Guess I will just have to wait and see.
