I've had to stop taking all my meds.. Cymbalta and Topomax. I not only just can't afford the meds, I can't afford the constant dr appointments to GET the meds. I quit things cold turkey just before Thanksgiving (irony irony..) I thought I had the flu at first. I did nothing but toss my cookies, and shiver in bed. I THOUGHT I was used to the zaps in my brain as this wasn't the first time I'd been off the meds, but this is the first time LONG TERM. Now, now I just pray for my head to not float off my shoulders. I almost wish I were back ON the drugs. I can't think, I can barely walk as the jarring of my feet on the pavement causes my brain to zap for 3 to 5 seconds. My head aches in a dull throb. And I think I'm about praying for death. My best beloved brought me Benedryl today to hopefully help make the symptoms get better. But I can't stand the hot/cold in out feelings.

What's worse.. the disease or the detox from the 'cure'? Either way I think I'm gonna be praying for death shortly. I work 12 hour days. I can't keep going on like this.

Any help would be faboo.

My wife took Zofran for the queasy/nausea. The Benadryl is good for itching and "pins and needles" symptoms. Dramamine will also work for the nausea, and is available over the counter. Drinks LOTS of GREEN gatorade..... don't know what the deal is, but it helps.

Take care

If you get very strong nausea for short time, ondasetrone (vonau) can help.

I've been reading over and over on here about gatorade!

I'm going to have to try this asap! I'm having more and more physical symptoms...and they are noooo fun.
