You're gaining on the current meds? How long have you been on them? Have you tried Lamictal without the Cymbalta? Maybe at a higer dose - since it's supposed to have AD effect? I don't know if Lamictal usually messes with metabolism, but I've heard Cymbalta can really make you fatigued. I don't know anything about Camral. What about adding a low dose of stimulant to get the motivation going?
I take Lamictal and it doesn't make me tired, or gain weight, but it seems I've gotten thicker around the waist, but maybe it's not the meds. - maybe it's my age. I exercise and have a lot of aches and pains, but it's worse when I don't exercise. My carb intake is way too high - at night I seem to have no control, and eat all the wrong things.
I hope you find something that works CS, I know how discouraging it is.
