So just really a check in for folks that followed a few of my earlier threads. I was taking lamotrigine, Cymbalta and seroquel for sleep. We pulled out the Cymbalta, replaced with Abilify and have a prn of xanax. It has been a good change and even is finally where I am. My last depressed episode ran months so this is a nice change of pace finally. I've made med changes in the past (been fighting this since 2005) and it seems whenever a change is made, I do well for a while. I hope this is more permanent this go around.

I hope the change works out well for you. I've done the med merry-go-round. I know how the constant trials can leave one toasted.
All the best

Awesome! Good to hear. Cymbalta gave me irritable hypo, but that was without a mood stabilizer.

Hope this is the right combo for you. I'm adding lithium to my mix; I haven't been able to deal with side effects of other meds. Im really hoping this is it for me this time as welll.
