"cymbalta for me has been very beneficial in treating the anxiety/depression periods of type 1 bipolar disorder.
some say antidepressant medicines can cause adverse reaction in bipolar patients leading to manic episode, but it didn&#039;t with me. it worked better over a long period, the negative effects when first starting the medication, and when stopping, can be quite bad (head spins, nausea, dry mouth, very tired, etc.) and can take a while to subside. i experienced many positive effects after being crippled with depression/anxiety for sometime. biggest advice - do not stop taking suddenly and do not miss doses. decrease dosage slowly (speak to your doctor)."
