Is anyone out there using Cymbalta without Eplilum?

by happyjared, Sep 28, 2009 10:03PM
Hi,

About four weeks ago I got serious with staying off the booze and decided to get back on my Antabuse tablets.  I hadn't really noticed any difficulties with concentration before then but recently I'm finding that I'm having difficulty applying myself to any task.
I'm taking 90mgs of Cymbalta daily and should also be using my Epilum but I was trying to lose weight and was told that it puts it on so discontinued use.
Has anyone else found that Cymbalta without Epilum makes you a bit pacey, unfocussed, "high"?
Cheers

I was taking 90mg Cymbalta with no mood stabilizer, before I got my BP diagnosis.  It caused a bad hypomania episode, also mixed episodes and rapid cycling.  

If you've been diagnosed Bipolar, you need to be aware of the real risk of inducing mania taking a high dose of Cymbalta.  The symptoms you describe do sound like mania/hypo. I would discuss this with your pdoc asap.
