In reply to Parnate to Cymbalta?, posted by quarterwit on September 4, 2004, at 15:24:09
How much Lamictal are you taking? Too much Lamictal caused me to sleep too much when I combined it with high dosages of Parnate. I don't think I could tolerate any more than 150mg of Lamictal at the time without it producing somnolence. Without Parnate, I can handle 300mg.
You are already well into a trial of Parnate, and it would be a shame if you were to miss out on a remission at 60mg. I think it is logical to continue with it, perhaps increasing to 60mg and waiting 3 weeks. Cymbalta will always be there for you.
If you do decide to switch, the prudent recommendation is to wait 2 weeks after discontinuing Parnate to begin Cymbalta.
Good luck.
