Hi all,
Sorry for the delay..My foot and leg are burning a lot these past few days!!
Brue, What I meant by hypo and hyper at the same time with Symbalta was that it made feel feel hyperactive and jittery and yet at the same time it made my feel low energy..or hypeactive..it was a strange uncomfortable combination...I just didn't feel like myself at all..for me it was a scary feeling....also my stomach bothered me a lot and a work full time so I have to feel half way decent to make it through the day with the RSD!!
I hope this helped.
Daniella, and Koala, thanks for the info! I tried melatonin, too, but it really didn't help much..I really want to try the St. John's Wort so that I can raise my seratonin level naturally...I'll do some more research and see if I can find out anything!!
Take good care, all!!!
Hope4thebest xo

that actually happened to me when i was on either paxil, abilify, or invega. it made me so sluggish yet at the same time i had an inner restlessness to keep moving. it got pretty bad. luckily i had my pdoc write me a script for artane, so that knocked it down, and I'm no longer on any of those meds so it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Brueg,
That's great that you don'ttake meds any longer!! Did you find alternativs to the meds or are you feeling better with your symtoms and don;t need anything any longer!
Hope4thebest

wait what?
i didn't say i didn't take meds any longer, just not THOSE meds.

i definitely take meds still. but when i took paxil abilify or risperdal, i definitely had some problems.
