Well, good news/bad news...
Cymbalta did have fewer side effects for me. Far fewer, in fact, than any other med I've tried, except Wellbutrin. That's the good news.
Fatigue? Uh... I didn't have fatigue, per se, but I was so entirely unmotivated that standing up seemed pretty ambitious. Again, it wasn't fatigue, not at all. It was something different, but the result was the same.
As for OCD, yeah, I'd say it makes sense to treat that more aggressively. If you don't get manic/hypomanic regularly, the OCD is likely to cause more impairment. Cymbalta might be a good choice for that, by the way.
I know I haven't told you much, but I hope the little bit here helps.
