> what AD are you on?

I take:

Trileptal - 150mg a.m. & 150mg p.m.
Wellbutrin XL - 150mg a.m.
Cymbalta - 40mg p.m.

Reports here about Cymbalta have been mixed. Some love it, some hated it or couldn't handle side effects. (My side effects have been pretty mild.) Also, although the therapeutic dose is 60mg, some here take 90-120mg, and some break apart the 20mg capsules and just take a few of the little pellets inside! Like many of the drugs used here, I think you have to be willing to start out slow and wait several weeks to feel better.

I took 30mg for one week and then went up to 60. I felt really good after about 3 weeks on 60mg, but my blood pressure went up a little, so we dropped my dose down to 40mg. After a few weeks on that, I added the Wellbutrin XL to augment. So far, so good.
