just a thought ...the cymbalta while good for depression and pain and somewhat for ocd seems to br causing to much free floating anxiety...i do take klonopin 1.5 sleep and restoril 15 mg sleep ..600 tegretol and 100 lamictal.....but very anxious and fidgety...dr.says to try cymbalta at bed ans see what happens...just wondering if its not the nonadreneline????he will give me up to 3 mg of klonopin but refuse to take it i will not go above 2mg end of story on that..was thinking of another ssri with less anxiety..a shame

I did that switch almost straight across, just a little cross tapering for a few days. There will almost always be some degree of weirdness and trouble with a switch but this one I think was pretty easy in comparison to others.
