I was first on Effexor then on Cymbalta. My depression was still there but I wasn't as emotional and could tough it out better. My rapid cycling got worse though. I never before had the elated feeling, just depression and not super bad down periods unless they were called for. On the antidepressants everything in my life could be perfectly wonderful, no bad things going on, and my emotions would still be all over the place for no reason. Right now I'm on Lamactil 50mg.(starting slowly and it's suppose to help the cycling and depression.) Zoloft for the depression.( was 50mg but doc lowered it because of anxiety) And Seroquel for the cycling and to help sleep. I've been on the Lamactil for 3 weeks now and the other two for 10 days and other than at times feeling dead inside with no feeling at all, I don't feel any better yet. I'm giving it time and have not yet given up but I really don't think these three together I going to "fix" me. Do your moods go up and down or do you just have too much on your mind? For me working 50 hours a week, being a mother of three and a wife along with everything else is very stressful and I feel like my mind is all over the place because it has to be to take care of everything.
