Can you take Cymbalta for bipolar II disorder?

Yes, I have been diagnose with BPD 2 and I am currently taken Cymbalta due to the pain I have all over my body. The doctor actually put me on it for extreme anxiety disorder however since it was not working I had my psychologist medically test me to see what disorder was going on. My body is not able to channel pain correctly and when I take Cymbalta I am able to function and carry out normal activities. Cymbalta has not helped at all with the mood swings that I experience. Sometimes I am depressed, anxiety runs me, and I have paranoia fears.

Side effects of Cymbalta and crank?

You shouldn't be concerned with the side effects while using any recreational drugs--isn't that the point? If you're asking whether you'll have a major medical reaction to crank because you're taking Cymbalta--The answer is no. If you have a severe negative reaction to crank it's because you're body does not handle it well. This has no correlation with anti-depressants.

According to the literature, there is no interaction between the two drugs. However, after you stop smoking, the doses of any medications you are using may need to be adjusted. Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially insulin, blood thinners, or theophylline (Respid, Theobid, Theoclear, Theo-Dur or Uniphyl). Since smoking cessation causes a drop in dopamine levels, it might be necessary to adjust your anti-depressant dosage as well.

Why am I always tired and can't focus I suffer from anxiety and Take Cymbalta. I honestly feel like I need some kind of stimulant to get me movin I have many things I want to do but just cant why?

Perhaps you need coffee, it will help you to focus. There has been new test that show that coffee is actually more helpful then bad, if you drink it moderately (1-2 cups a day). After you get moving on the things that you want to do, you can start to cut down on the caffeine if necessary. Right now just get the momentum going in the things the you want to do. Staying in action is the remedy. Stay out of your head as much as possible. Thinking is the enemy; stay busy.
