> I have heard of light therapy and it was even suggested by my doctor. I will read more about this. Are you off of the cymbalta now? Are you taking anything for your depression. I'm taking 30mg of lexapro right now. Plus seroquel 100mg and klonopin twice a day. I also take adderall 30mg or I would sleep all day. I have ADD and it does give me some focus and keeps me awake although I always go back to bed in the morning because of the after effects of the seroquel. The seroquel has helped allot with my depression and mood swings.

> I'm currently on mirtazapine (remeron) micro dose 7.5mg to help me sleep, planning to get off that too. It's amazing how much the light helps. I had some positive results from lexapro, but (ears ring, wake 3-5 am, headaches, flatulence, ibs, tmj) so crossed that one off.
Actually I had been unknowingly poisoning myself (two meds). The Cymbalta gave me bad headaches so I used muscle relaxants. Diazapan was one of them and because of my condition, it took me the longest time to determine that for me it greatly increased my depression. The other depressor I was on was my blood pressure drug atenolol. After figuring that out I discovered others had this problem. My never again list of meds is growing. My current bp med is licenopro and when I need a muscle relaxant I use cyclobenzaprine. Good luck
