Thanks Rainyday. Lithium was prescribed to me to curb the intensity of my suicidal urges. It did help for a while but hasn't worked this year. The urges tend to happen when I am mixed so I guess it is for that. Maybe I could switch Lithium for Tegretol and not gain any more weight? Idk. I just lost around 13 pounds (6kg) stopping Zyprexa and feel so much better about myself. I would hate to gain more.
24 hours in on Cymbalta and I feel a few minor side effects but nothing else. Bit irritable though which is a concern. Will have to keep an eye on it. Hopefully it will pass.
