We'll see and I wonder about ADs minus a decreased MS (decided I won't quit it completely, just try for the bare minimum). So far I'm doing fine at 8mg Cym and 400 lithium. It's only been a little over a week. Looking back, every time I stopped in the past was because I had run out and decided to see how it went, just like this time. The difference was that I wasn't on an AD and I was either very depressed or manic - not a good time to stop. The other thing was I was very physically ill with fibro and couldn't distract or work the stress off. I'm feeling healthy now and working like a dray horse outside and clearing up years worth of clutter. Being able to be busy is the best therapy.
To hedge my bets though, I'm going to take L-
Taurine 1000mg twice a day. Hey, if it works for Margot Kidder it's worth a try.> Just wondering if you'll have to stop the cymbalta to have a better chance at making it without a mood stabilizer. I would think taking an SNRI without the Lithium might really be problematic for you.
