I just started on Cymbalta last night. I had been on Zoloft, 30mg a
day. I had a horrible crying session during work yesterday that was
triggered by nothing. I was just sitting and all of a sudden started
bawling uncontrollably. Earlier in the day I was flying high - writing
grandious emails to co-workers for projects we need to do, talking a
mile a minute, running a zillion errands during lunch

It is too bad you can't see a pdoc sooner.

even think about dinner until 10:30pm, and I really hadn't eaten much
all day. This sucks so bad. I hope the Cymbalta helps, and my new p-
doc will believe in my bipolar 3 diagnosis.

Tell him what you've told us. Welcome back to a.s.d.

I think that the Cymbalta could help if you can get used to it. If it is
too much, then you could talk to your psychiatrist. I am sorry your
having problems. You may want to ask about other meds.

Well, I thought I wouldn't have to visit this newsgroup again, but
here I am. I was very active during '97-'98.

I'm a female who had gastric bypass about 9 months ago. I've lost over
100 lbs (I'm down to around 130) and you'd think I'd be happy. Well
the hormones released from all that fat have made me miserable. I'm
rapid cycling through deep depression and a non-stop-talk-non-stop-
cleaning frenzy. (Anti-depressants do that to me.) I can't see a p-doc
until the end of May, and my regular doctor (in a new state, not my
old doctors from my last episode) had been trying to treat me.

Currently I'm on:
Lyrica 450mg daily for migraines
Clonazepam .5mg x3 a day for social phobia/generalized anxiety
disorder
Levothyroxine - 75mcg
Cymbalta - 30mg
Imitrex - 100mg as needed
Vitamin D - 50000IU x3 a week for hyperparathyroidism
Darvocet-N100 - as needed
Seroquel - 25 - 50mg as needed for sleep
albuterol - 2 puffs as needed
Vitamin B12 & Syringes - 10ml every 3 weeks

I just started on Cymbalta last night. I had been on Zoloft, 30mg a

bawling uncontrollably. Earlier in the day I was flying high - writing
grandious emails to co-workers for projects we need to do, talking a
mile a minute, running a zillion errands during lunch.... when I got
home I was back flying again. I put on my iPod and setup our new
furniture, hung a bunch of pictures, did the dishes, fed the dogs, re-
arranged most of the furniture in the house, bought new flowers for
myself (bright bright bright colored), oiled my softball glove, sent
out a bunch of emails, hung all my clothes up, threw all my husband's
stuff into a hamper 'cause I was sick of it on the floor - I didn't
even think about dinner until 10:30pm, and I really hadn't eaten much
all day. This sucks so bad. I hope the Cymbalta helps, and my new p-
doc will believe in my bipolar 3 diagnosis. Some doctors say it's
crap, and if you're not psychotic, it's not an issue. I, on the other
hand, was putting my job at risk, and I won't even talk about the job
interview I had that afternoon.

So thanks for listening to me ramble. I'm having a pretty calm day,
but I'm down now because that job wants to hire me, but isn't willing
to pay me enough to leave my current one.

I'm sure I'll be posting again, and meeting people on here.

Thanks for listening,

Hi there, I'm not sure if "welcome back" is the right sentiment, but glad you're
here rather than trying to cope all by yourself.

Is GeekGirl the nym you used to post under, or would I know you by something
else?

Hang in there, hang on, and we all have to hang together, if we don't want to
hang separately...
