Of course they added Cymbalta back in which scares the living shite out of me since it can trigger a manic episode in me but the depression was overwhelming me with not being on an AD. Thanks for your insight and own personal stories! :yourock

-----if you have what is called mixed states you change rapidly between states and can be both at the same time!!! We are not dull people! A routine helps me stay stable. I try to add positive activities and people and challenge myself just enough to avoid going off the rails.
