Hi,

I am a 48 year old female with bipolar II.  I am currently on Provigil 200 mg twice a day, Cymbalta 30 mg daily, Remeron 30 mg daily, Seroquel 400 mg daily, Ativan prn.  My problem is that over the last 10-14 days, I have been experiencing some body aches and muscle aches.  The pain is very diffuse and is most like it is coming from the inside out.  Actually the sensation is like my skin is raw.  My clothing hurts.  At first it was more in my neck, shoulders and arms but is moving down and worsening by the day.  Today, everything hurts again a diffuse pain that feels like my skin has had the top layer removed and is very, very sensitive.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is it a medication side effect?  I was originally on Cymbalta 90mg but have been tapering because of hypomania.  I see my psychiatrist next Tuesday but just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this.  Thank you so much.  I am really at the end of my rope with trying to keep on top of symptoms, I some times think i will never feel well.  Thanks for your help, dolle
