OK, so it seems that my pdoc is going to start me on Lamictal and keep everything the same for the moment. He says that if I notice an improvement from the Lamictal, I could possibly drop the Cymbalta. I'm not sure the Cymbalta has been the best drug for me. It makes me sweat uncontrollably and it messes up my sex life. And it has a reputation for increasing heart rate and since I have Ectopic Atrial Tachycardia, I've wondered whether or not it has been the best drug for me to take for a while.
Anyone currently using Lamictal as a booster for an anti-depressant? Anything I should expect to see if it's working? Anything I should watch out for? Am I making a good decision by following this suggestion?
