There was a mixup at the pharmacy and I was given cymbalta instead of my stomach med. I'm bipolar 1, so I should definitely not take cymbalta, and because of a quirk of my metabolism if I did take it for some reason I should only take 1/4 - 1/6 of the dose. They gave me the maximum dose, so basically I took 4-6x the maximum dose of cymbalta for 3 weeks before it was caught, and it built up in my system to a really high level. It's been stopped now, and I have no clue how I'm not raving manic right now! But I have bad serotonin syndrome and am going through a really bad withdrawal as well.
How long does this usually last? I know it'll be longer for me because it'll leave my system really slowly because of my metabolism, but at least an idea of what would be normal would be great!
