cmonk,
You know if I thought I would get a little better I have had the thought of
going up on my dose. I have now been in the house since last Thursday,
and havn't talked to anyone, feel like s@it.

Thank you for all you said. I can hear things from one person, and not get
it, but then another says it to me, and a light goes off.

Junior,
No I am not eating right, and just try with all me might to get anything into me.
It is better today, the way I am feeling, having some mild anxiety about having to
leave the house. I am really just alone way to much.

I just went through another several dayw of being so tired I could do anything at
all. I take better care of my animals that I do of me. I also need to go to the
pharmacy today to get my meds, I just hope I can make it there, and home.

Going to try to find a shrink, and therapist too.

I have just had too much happen, and all these chemicals. Even my daughter
used to say that I didn't need to be on anything. I do look back, and remember
when it all feel apart, and the first antidepresssant. I would kill to be able to just
exercise, that always did the trick for me, but with my back, I am not able to do
much at all.

I am sick of all of this

Just rambling, but guess I needed to do so.

Debbie

Wow this seems scary I just came across this site for the first time and read your piece this is me Fibromyalgia diagnosis 3 plus years have a minor child single parent and feeling like I want to try to get off this crap my quality of life is horrible I have major physcial pain however I tend to just somehow get up every day work f/t to advocate for others and their rights? Dr states wants to up Cymbalta from 60mg to 90mg also has tried to prescribe other meds for sleep and so on and so on. I can barely afford to obtain my medicaiton on a monthly basis with medical insurance. I am afraid of getting off after reading all these different comments. but at the same time I appreciate the truth if I skip a dose less than 24 hr later I began to feel horrible (mentally)then I begin to feel panicky/ anxiety as to what I am about to face if I go any more time without my medication both mentally and physically it appears that with in the last year physically I have declined severly I feel as if my Dr and family take this as normal thing to expect this can not be true I feel that in less than another year I will be unable to function my child is to small to have him on his own No one will be able to financial care for him. What How do I get out of this how does fibromyalgia go away I feel that I have been lied to by the trusted professional DR. Now I am questioning all my diagnosis. Sorry I feel that I have just exploded on a total stranger. I wouolld like to know the true facts word for words on withdrawl I want to face my fear I want to LIVE.


Hi, and Welcome,
I have to go to bed, so someone will get this, and if not I will in the am.
Good choice to get off this noxiuos stuff, we can show you how we did it.

Don't give up or go away.

TAJ,
Just saw that you said you can barley afford to obtain you mds on a monthly basis, even with Micical insurance.
Just to let you know these companies will gladly give you the meds for free, all you have to do is call, and they
are more than willing to get you in their programs.


Let me know if you need more help with this?

Debbie
No one does have to go without meds anymore, as they offer them all for free. Montel William's also has a program, so to his
web site, but calling directly is just easier, and faster.

Heck I just call my Dr. and she leaves me free samples at the front desk....I have not paid for this crap since the end if July. I am so cranky the last week and a half. I wanted to hit a car today cause it was going through the parking lot the wrong way. I forgot to take my Xanax last night. I need to take some tonight. Maybe it will help some...When I was in Calif. I had someone tell me to go on Prozac to help me out some. I kinda feel like I am almost off and I do not want to have to go through the weaning process of any other drug again. Anyone have a thought on this...I am only taking 70 balls......

Candy,
As far as the Prozac, how bad are you withdrawls? I ended up using it, but it took a very long time for
anything to help me. If you really still having very awful withdrawls you could go on teh Prozac 20 mg,
it is nothing to get off of compared to this!! Then again you can always just up your beads, not add
a new med, and just go slower at coming off this crap. I know I got in a hurry, forgot, and just wanted
off this crap, so I made mistakes along the way. Now that I am really going very, very slow, I am not
having a hard time at all, well I am just constipated really bad, par for the course.

Hope that helped a little.

Debbie

I think I can deal with the side effects...I just have pms to go along with everything else. The brain zap are a little different this time I am hearing a popping noise with the zaps.I took a Xanax last night to just calm me down some. That is something I would only use 1 time a week no more than that...When I have time to go to acupuncture I do not have the money. When I have the money I have no time. I it will help me and I am going to try to get in this week......
