Maybe it's the norepinephrine that does that for you. I kind of felt that energy when I briefly tried nortriptyline and desipramine. I'm hoping to get some energy back from adding DLPA to my regimen (once I get my anxiety under control).
It's so strange how differently we all respond. I am wondering now if I shouldn't try Cymbalta again. It made me so groggy yet also nervous at the same time. It was very uncomfortable and I think I was only at 10 mg. Maybe I could try it low dose for a while and see what happens. Did you have that nervous yet groggy feeling when you first started on it? Do you take anything else (medications or supplements) with the Cymbalta? If not, you must REALLY be sensitive to serotonin.

> Cymbalta at only 5mg seems to jump start my thyroid - more energy, less orthostatis dizziness, weight going down, less acne and hair loss. But I've got to be careful about the SSRI component as I get serotonin syndrome symptoms very easily and SSRIs worsen my muscle tightness and knots.
