I started Seroquel while still on Cymbalta, at 50 mgs a day, 1 half a pill morn, afternoon, then one full one in the evening. It's been a godsend. My anxiety while just on that and cymbalta, drastically went down. I was diagnosed atypical BP2. I have weaned off the Cymbalta, which I had only been on for a month, and cause major manic and anxiety episode including small rages and serious suicidal thoughts. I was terrified and walked into my local hospital.
I have been weaned off the cymbalta, which I am still getting withdrawal symptoms from, and it's a living hell. I have ativan to ease the withdrawal symptoms, but it's not helping much at this point. I am getting even more angry thoughts then before. My Pdoc said to go up to 25mgs 3x a day now on the Serequel and I have been started on Lamactil @ 12.5 mgs a day. Next week, 25mgs. I have the worst upset stomach and body aches I have ever felt. Please tell me I am not alone? Or is this normal? thanks so much.
