> Did you plan on making an abrupt switch from one drug to the other, or are you going to wait until you get to 100mg of Zoloft before reducing the Cymbalta?I'm stopping the cymbalta and starting 100 mg Zoloft in the morning. I went from 20 mg Lexapro to 60 mg Cymbalta without any discontinuation or start up effects, so I'm hoping doing the reverse going from cymbalta to zoloft will be OK. I feel physically ill tonight and have a splitting headache. My fibro is flared up so badly I'm barely walking. Thank goodness for friends who will pick you up and take you to the pharmacy. I don't trust my reflexes enough to drive. Cymbalta is obviously not a med that I can tolerate and I want off it, like yesterday.

> As an aside, Trileptal is being increasingly prescribed for aggression, hostility, and impulse control. How does it affect you? If the Cymbalta were working well for depression, you could use the Trileptal to prevent the rage episodes from occurring.If the Cymbalta was giving me more than a minimal partial response, we probably would look at augmenting it, but it just seemed to be making me more unstable. I haven't been on Trileptal. I've never experienced this type of reaction to any SSRI, SNRI, TCA or MAOI. It has freaked me out.
