will lower doses of lamictal and effexor help in overcoming cymbalta induced hypermania
hello welcome to icliniq com considering the history of mania even if it is drug induced it is not advisable to start effexor alone in my opinion so I would suggest you discuss with your treating psychiatrist regarding starting seroquel regularly as it also acts on depressive symptoms or starting low dose effexor along with lamictal as mood stabilizer I hope this helps
hello doctor I recently was on cymbalta minimum dose but did not feel better I felt worse and was told to up the dose then I took 120 my still felt bad so I abruptly stopped this and it triggered discontinue syndrome and hypermania I have not felt the same since I am not suffering so much now from hypermania after a month or two I am lamictal and when needed on seroquel on current medicines I feel blank unstable unable to think normal and some frustration anger thinking concentration and speech affected at times I feel I need to go back to antidepressants my brain needs that and boosts mood and taper off appropriately like effexor or lexapro I have had success but lexapro cause stomach issues and effexor is good but can cause weight gain or if working in the night it can cause mood swing I believe my current issue is just because of cymbalta induced hypermania I did get psychosis from led do you think I should taper off lamictal to effexor low doses
