I'm up to 4 pellets - whoo whee - and still getting a very positive response. I recall how teeny those tabs of acid were and guess it doesn't take much.
I thought Straterra was a pstim for ADD? How does that figure into your AD/bipolar strategy? I no longer do well on stimulants although my unwell bipolar symptoms leave me feeling very disorganized with signs of ADD.

> That doesn't surprise me at all. My Cymbalta trial pellet history goes as thus: 1) 30 pellets/day for 21 days, worsening...sx 2) Reduction from 20-12 pellets/day over the next 30 days (felt better), 3) Stopped altogether and switched back to 5mg Stratterra/day. (felt better). Not taking Stratterra now though BTW. Don't need to. Bottom line I defintely found that a little Celexa + Stratterra or Effexor worked better for me than Cymbalta. Really dissapointed.
