My husband was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. He was put on Trileptal and Cymbalta. He is having problems with the Cymbalta, especially severe insomnia. He has been on the Cymbalta since December. The insomnia just started a couple of weeks ago. The doctors want to give him Halcion or Ambien to help, but we don't see that as a solution. Also, the Ambien didn't work. We are considering requesting the psychiatrist to let him go off of the Cymbalta. Has anyone else had problems with insomnia from Cymbalta? Also, what are the side effects of going off of the Cymbalta (withdrawal symptoms)? I would appreciate any advice, as we are very frustrated and don't know what to do.
