Re: it's ok to be drug addicts

i know what you mean, nancy,

i cut tablets in half, never took any meds, very rarely even took

motrin or anything for headaches or monthly problems, either, and

now, with fibro, i can't seem to " get enuf drugs " . but then we

haven't found which meds at what doses work best for me yet, i am so

sensitive to side effects, i cannot take any antidepressants at all

and i just started on 1mg of valium.

the interesting thing was i have achey since high school, and i thot

more of my issue has always been horrible fatigue. so my pc let me

try cymbalta a few weeks ago, could not believe the amount of pain it

got rid of, didn't think i was carrying around all that pain, but the

cymbalta was too sedating, even at half the normal dose. so that is

when i started a low dose of valium.

it is just frustrating, totally, requesting meds we need and not

being able to get them.

oh well, i guess i will tell my docs, sure, i could use some cheese

with this whine, but i need drugs, too!

take care,

marg
