I am Type 2 Bipolar. My doctor put me on Lamotrigine then Paroxetine then Seraltine. I now have a terrible rash. I went to urgent care and the doctor took me off everything my doctor had me on and gave me a prescription for Cymbalta. Is Cymbalta for type 2 bipolar?
Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Type 2 bipolar disorder needs a mood stabilizer and cymbalta alone would not be a good option. You should ideally be on valproates and bupropion. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. In future if you need any further details about your query, you can use the below mentioned link: bit.ly/dr-srikanth-reddy
