Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 , Sorry, but I don't know anything about acupuncture. I did want to talk to you about your withdraw from your pain meds. I also had this happen but instead of running out it was time to refill my script. and I was told I had reached my limit, so now I am in the bubble with my insurance. I didn't feel like we could afford to renew my Cymbalta. It was going to be $130.00 something and it was a few days before Christmas. So, I quit cold turkey. Bad, bad, idea. I could definetely tell that it did help control my pain but the worst of it was I totally lost all control of my emotions. You could look at me wrong and I would start balling my eyes out. If I wasn't crying then I was jumping down every one's throat. Christmas day I had both of my married children so mad at me that they left earlier than they ever had before. A long story short, lol, my bad, it's already long. My husband finally found out what was wrong with me and he went to the pharmacy, got my meds. even got my meds that was due then. He told me that since I had no idea what our finances was (my fault, I don't want to know) I had no reason to worry about being able to afford the meds. It was not going to be a problem, he assured me. All is well again, my kids love me, and I'm back to normal with my meds. So, I know exactly what you went through and I hurt with you. It's a horrible thing and also a dangerous thing to go cold turkey. Please, try not to worry so much about making everything perfect. Make sure you have meds when you need them. I'll be praying, Carol (OK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
