> oh no, now i wonder if i should take Cymbalta or not. My medical dr doesn't know that i have dx of DID and i'm taking it for pain not depession and are in severe chronic pain.
>Cymbalta is not unique in being associated with suicidal ideation or action, so I wouldn't worry too much about it -- but I would put into place some sort of safety net, if I were you. Nothing major, just someone you can call to say, "Uh-oh, I'm thinking it looks like an alternative" if need be. Your therapist is probably the best resource for this, so just keep her updated, huh?
Is there any reason that your PCP doesn't know about your psychiatric dx? That sort of thing really can be relevant to your physical health, and it would probably be in your best interest to let him/her know about this. Just my two cents worth, and cheap at half the price.
