Thanks guys, you have just helped me make up my mind.
Current Rx
125mg Lamictal
10mg Edronax
6mg ClonazepamI stopped the Edronax cold turkey, there is no withdrawal from it. I needed a 24hr washout before taking the cymbalta. I took one this morning and have never had such severe nausea with a smashing headache from any SSRI/SNRI including luvox, prozac, aropax(paroxetine), cipramil (celexa), zoloft and the worst offender of all efexor xr.
I'll lower the Lamictal until I'm off it, and I'll ditch the cymbalta. Once settled I'll start lowering my clonazepam.
Bleauberry, on my last visit he said if Edronax doesn't work he'll trial me on Parnate. He didn't even mention it. I can't believe you mentioned it. This is a new pdoc I've only seen about 6 times. I have to admit I thought he was fantastic until this happened. I wrote a list of everything I have tried over the last 17+ years and the 1st thing he said was. There seems to be nothing wrong with your serotonin levels and that's why you react badly to all meds that are SSRI/SNRI or serotonin based. He told me that he thought my adrenal system was not working so well and that's why I have responded much better to things like Edronax, DA's and modafinil, etc....
Alchemy and bleauberry, thankyou so much!!!! You have both said exactly what I was thinking. Peace C
