Yes, please keep us posted on your experience ... I will be seing my new pdoc Mar. 3rd and Cymbalta will undoubtedly be one of the choices we'll be considering.
I also have mixed depression with a high anxiety component, possible cyclothymic/ultra-rapid cycling BPII spectrum, and defintely BPIII reactions; the 2 mg clonazepam/day I'm currently on is not really enough although I know pharmacists and GP's see that as quite a high dose. I can only say that if my other current meds are working and activating me it often takes 4-5 mg of clonazepam before I can get out of my apartment, so I am reassured that I'm not the only one who finds this level of supplementation necessary.
And it's not as though the answer is to cut down on the activating component in my current meds (Remeron, Selegeline -- plus a couple of cups of coffee!) , as I then revert to lethargy, serious depression and total inability to get anything done.
