I've heard Cymbalta helps some people with major depression, it's an SSNRI. I don't know about taking it when one has bipolar but it's different than an SSRI. How much different I don't know I have never taken it.

I started out having type two Bipolar (Other problems too) but it became Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar Type in my early twenties. I also have PTSD, a Dissociative Disorder, and OCD.

Some of the medication I take you said didn't work for you and I'm going through some adjustments right now and might go through more.

Lithium 1200 mg 300 mg tab 2 tab twice daily
Generic for Abilify one tab 30 mg once daily
Fluoxatine (Prozac) 40 mg two cap once daily (80 mg)
Prazosin (High Blood Pressure Medicine taken mostly for Nightmares I don't have high blood pressure.)
2 mg 2 cap once daily (4 mg).
Prazosin Again 5 mg 4 cap at night (20 mg) (Nightmares)
Quetiapine (Generic for Seroquel) 300 mg once at night.

That's a lot of Prazosin for nightmares for a woman but my nightmares are so horrendous, difficult to control and distressing. Also my blood pressure is doing okay right now. The medication just got increased from 15 mg at night to 4 mg in the morning and 20 mg at night.

I see that you already had your doctor's appointment Sui, I am just now seeing this post. I hope everything went well or at least goes well soon.
