Hi all!!
I just thought I would check in... I went to the Pdoc this week... he bumped up my Zoloft to 25mg, 3 times a day. He dropped my Cymbalta to 30mg once a day. Told me to move these around to different times of the day to find out what works best for me. Everything else is still the same: 800mg Seroquel at bed. 1mg Xanax twice a day. 50mg Amitriptyline at bed. I also take a couple of other medicines for my RSD... I am so tired of taking meds, but I am being good and taking them as told. I go to the Tdoc tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a good week!!  Abbie

oh, Abbie...
3 drugs that affect serotonin? 75mg a day of Zoloft Cymbalta 30mg a day (are you tapering off this?) And 50mg of amitriptyline? I think this is quite odd. I'd so some internet searching about this combo... Hasn't your pharmacist talked to you about this? http://www.drugdigest.org/wps/portal...zdGVwL2luZGV4/ Please be careful.

MrsD...
Thank you for the information. I am tapering off of the Cymbalta.... down from 90mg/day. Pdoc is fully aware for the mixed meds I am on... my pharmacist has not mentioned the mix at all. I take 25mg Zoloft in morning, then Cymbalta around noon, 25mg Z mid afternoon, 25mg Z mid evening, 50mg Amitriptyline at bed. I've tried to spread them out as much as I can. So far no adverse side affects that I notice.... I don't feel any different than I did before the med change. Bizi... I'm holding on... still battling the rollercoaster though mostly I've been low end with an occassional major energy surge. I almost feel like I am heading back into a mixed state again. I go back to the Pdoc in 3 weeks.   Abbie

Went to Tdoc today...
Go back in 2 weeks but have to call her sometime next week. I am stuck... it feels as though the depression is getting heavier... I'm a bit scared as I'm getting very anxious and worried about this and it's sending me into a manic area... I hate this vicious cycle stuff... I've been on the depression side for a few months now with a few manic and mixed moments here and there. I could cut the Seroquel but I know what would happen in a short time... I'd become WONDER WOMAN again. I'm on a lot of meds but nothing seems to be working... Tdoc says there's a chance that the SSRI's are just not the thing for me... and I know that the Cymbalta (SNRI) had pretty much stopped working. Well... I have a migraine and the light from this computer is not helping. Abbie
