In reply to What about tianepine? Is it available there?, posted by Racer on October 9, 2005, at 16:43:35
Hey Racer, I can't even find information about tianepine on the net. Cymbalta doesn't seem to be available yet in Canada. It was SUPPOSE to be but according to a database that is usually really up to date, it's not. I'll phone a pharmacy.
However, I know that Cymbalta makes people drowsy and I need activating meds. Always have. I am not ruling it out as something to try though.
Effexor made me go manic several times, so that one is a no go.
My pdoc said the Sulpiride would enhance the Prozac the way Risperdal does. Sigh. I am just so fed up at this point that I don't know what to do.
Email me okay? Or I will email you. I want to talk to you ....

Maybe a selective serotonin reuptake ENHANCER would help more with the depression and anxiety symptoms in anorexics than a medication that inhibits reuptake?

The only problem I've had on it, after the initial adjustment phase, is the sedation/amotivation, but with Provigil and Wellbutrin (and a daily nap), it's bearable. Also, I'm about to lower the dose to 40mg from 60mg, which I hope will help. The added benefit of Cymbalta is that it does help with chronic pain.
