Do you take Trileptal and/or Cymbalta?

I've recentaly been taken off of Lexapro (30 mg daily) since I am going into a depression. The doctor increased my Trileptal from 150 mg daily to 300 mg daily along with 60 mg Cymbalta. This does not seem to be working as well as I would like. Has anyone had luck with this combination?

I've notice that since my ECT treatments (many years ago) my memory is not the same and when on medications my concentration is shot. I've tried Straterra with no luck and the doctor is hesitant about putting me on Adderall or Ritalin for fear it would start a big time manic episode. Has this happened to anyone?

I am starting to feel desperate, crying a lot, sleeping all the time, and screwing up at work. I need help and suggestions.

I've taken cymbalta for the past 18 months and it's the only anti-depressant that seems to work for me. Just the last few months my doctor has increase it to 100 mgs. I also take buspur 60 mgs 15 in the morning 15 in the afternoon and 60 at night. It takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the medicine to really start working. I know that it feels like forever when you want to feel better today, but you have to give it sometime. I've fought depression for 42 years so I know what you're going through. It took my a long time to find something that really worked for me. I hope that you find something that works for you soon and I'll keep you in my thoughts.
