> Well, nothing bad to really say about Cymbalta Maxime, and am taking it (got Dr's samples) 30 mg's 2x a day. But it is WAY too early to really say much. Don't forget, I was on Prozac, 80 mg for almost 6 years. (And Effexor 300mg for almost same before). Plus I take Risperdal, 1 mg a day, clonazepam 4 mg a day, Topomax 200mg a day, Elavil 20mg a day, Imovane 7.5 mg a day. May be adding Geodon (by import) How about you?

> Thnx...JayWhoa, you are on a lot of meds! From experience I can say it would be best if you went off the clonazepam. I was taking the same dosage and it turns out it was making me more depressed ( I was on the same dosage for 10 years!).
Right now I am taking:
Wellbutrin SR - 300 mg
Seroquel - 200 mg (I think this is the glue that holds me together)
Cymbalta - 30 mg
And meds for my asthma and hypothyroidism.
What are you hoping the Geodon will do for you? Are you bipolar type 2? I am, which makes it hard to find the right meds.
I read that Cymbalta works quickly ... I hope so. I was on 250 mg of Zoloft for four months and I stopped it over a week ago. I feel better without it. It was causing apathy. I feel more alive now.
You know, Cymbalta was supposed to be available in Canada in the summer of 2006. I wonder why it took longer?
We will keeping comparing notes on the Cymbalta, right?
Take care.
