I just spent 1 week in the hospital due to the adverse effects of the too-high dose of Cymbalta (which I've still been experiencing, despite having come down in dose quite a bit.) I'm on 2 new medications to help with anxiety and to allow me to sleep. I'm feeling better now and plugging on with reducing my Cymbalta dose, slowly and steadily. Just wanted to say "hi" since I've been MIA for a while!
Oh! I should add that when I told my nurses about opening the capsule and counting out beads, they said that was "bad medicine" and they were sure I wouldn't be allowed to do that. My doctors, however, were completely OK with it & instructed the nurses to let me do it. Yay for doctors who are open to doing things a little out of the ordinary!
