Re: Re: Bad pain/ cymbalta

[Guest guest]

Wow Judy, I will be starting Cymbalta this weekend. Being a zombie scares me

because I am working full time, taking 2 online classes and trying to pack and

move. I sleep really well on the Lyrica. No sleep would do me in! Gee I wonder

if I should just be rested and fat! Theresa in Tn

Could you please tell me how long have you been on Cymbalta and if you take it

in the morning or at night? I started it last week at 30mg and just upped it

last nite to 60mg. I think it might work out for me, but I have a huge problem

of not being able to sleep. I've had very little sleep in a week. I'm a Zombie!

Did you have any side effects like this when you started? My dr don't want to

give me anything yet for sleep, he wants the med to take full effect. My

understanding is that could be 1 - 4 weeks. I have a call into my dr now to see

if I could take it in the morning instead of evening.

Sleepless in Wisconsin, Judy

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some

treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain

health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.

Theresa - Taking both of those drugs together might be the answer. The

Cymbalta might counteract the weight gain on the Lyrica. Keep it in mind.

BTW, how goes it with your bf? Are you all set to move out?

Jeanne,

I really should take them together. If my pain gets worse on Cymbalta

only I will ask my doctor about that. As far as Mike goes, I am ready to move

out. I am just waiting on my tax refund. I expect to file next week and get the

money 2 weeks later. I brought home boxes yesterday and am going to start

packing in my spare time. I told him I was moving AND breaking up with him and

he is taking it ok now. I think he is already online looking for someone else

lol. That doesnt bother me at all. I think we can still be friends. We are just

living in the same house now.. that's all. I am keeping busy until I can move

because I am working full time and taking classes online so we don't see each

other that much anymore. I wont be posting that much in the next couple of

months because I wont have time to read posts on here`. I will try to keep

updated and will definitely let everyone know when I am finally moved... I cant

wait! Theresa in Tn
