Hello every one

So I am going on about a month of no Cymbalta now and it has been the worst month of my life until the past few days. I finally resorted to using my migraine cocktail (vicoden/Valium and 800mg of ibuprofen, cant take things like Imitrex because of a heart problem) to soothe the brain zaps and constant headache and it really helped...but it also knocked me out constantly. After getting tired of this I decided to try something new. I do not drink caffeinated beverages ever (they tend to trigger migraine) but thought maybe they might help so I ordered a cup of regular coffee and took 800mg of ibuprofen at breakfast on Sunday morning( with food of course). It was almost miraculous, no zaps and a clear head for almost 4 hours at a time and I did not need any narcs. I kept up with the caffeine all day and had the same result. I have been drinking small amounts of caffeine all week and have not had to take any narcs since until today when I developed a killer migraine (likely from all the caffeine). And the other plus is my bowels FINALLY seem to be getting bak to normal. I no longer have the terrible diarrhea (which is funny considering the caffeine ) but I'm not complaining. I am even sleeping better...inspire of late afternoon coffee.

Some of may already be coffee drinkers so this may not work for you but if not, give it a try. I am so thrilled I could just hug someone.

Best part yet? Sex is back to normal... YAY!!!!!
