i am living in israel for a year. the p-doc i see here took me off of cymbalta and put me on ixel. it is not available in the states. i started at 25 mg once a day and am now at 50 mg once a day. she said i can easily go up to 100 mg or more. she says it is very similar to cymbalta with the added bonus of it giving me energy. i don't have energy, though, and i really can't tell if it is helping otherwise. i am bipolar 1 and am currently struggling with depression. i really don't feel like cymbalta has ever helped after being on it for about a year. when i tried stopping cymbalta but not taking something new in its place i got crazy withdrawal symptoms within 48 hours.
