I have BP2 and am trying to get pregnant. I have come off of a lot of my medications. My final meds are Wellbutrin, Trazodone and Cymbalta. The Wellbutrin is suppose to take the place of the cymbalta. After horrible withdrawal, I came completely off of Cymbalta last week. I became so depressed that I couldn't stand to talk, much less move. All I wanted to do was sleep and be left alone. When I did interact, I was grizzly mean. I started back on the Cymbalta yesterday, b/c my depression was overwhelming and my meaness was clearly taking a toll on my husband and 4 year old.
With all of that said, it seems that I may not be able to come off of Cymbalta right now. What do you know about women who took Cymbalta for the duration of the pregnancy? And how healthy were their babies?
I'm not pregnant, yet. However, I want to be.
