Life didn't even out until we added Lamictal to Cymbalta. When we added Seroquel I began having mild mixed up moods. We stopped the Ambien and I can't sleep much so after a few days started again. See the pdoc on the 18th. I'd rather just have the Cymbalta with Lamictal--the depression was gone and I lived with mild hypomania--I felt Soooo good. I guess I need to sleep so maybe we should try something other than Ambien. I don't think the seroquel is good unless we up the Lamictal. Lamictal is very good, at least for me. Tell your doc if you have any issues with it. Good Luck


try a small dose of klonipin... like .5mg for sleep.
I too was on 12.5mg of ambien and that can have terrible side effects and is expensive.
The klonipin I only take at night for sleep and is very cheap, $2 for a months supply!
and you would not need the seroquel at all!
