yes I do have a psychiarist..she had given me lamacil.but I'm afraid to mix the cymbalta w/ anything...today is a better day for me... I might be thinking alil clearer today not as anxious...& overwhelm as I've been ..in fact you just remind me to make an appt..& perhaps try the lamacil..now my primary doctor told me , I can't take sodium.(depekote).due to swelling..or gain weight..because of my back & diabetes...that's another concern..today for the first time in months..I feel ok for a Monday..does lamicil make u gain any weight?
I also want to thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post..what is Cymbalta for? I know it has help me tremously w/ pain...
once again thank you have a great week hon..
I've had the same thing with BP, and hard to get off Cymbalta, it's not that effective as a frontline anti-depressant, there a others in the mood stabilzer category that will work better, I'm on Lamactil, and it's been a godsend. If you look at that med, there is a warning about a rash, but it's very rare, and going up on that med slowly (25mgs/week) will usually negate the chance of that rash ocurring. Your rash could have been caused by a combination of meds, or perhaps something altogether. Do you have a psychiatrist?
IF you are suicidal you need to go to your local ER as soon as possible. It sounds like you aren't responding to Cymbalta.

IF you need immediate help there are some hotlines of folks you can contact, but if you are actively planning suicide. Please go to your local hospital asap. You can and will feel better .
