Trudy,
Good luck weaning off the Cymbalta. I couldn't handle the side effects
of Cymbalta
or Lyrica. Terrible digestive problems.
I got to meet Billy Joel with his wife (at the time) Christie Brinkley
and daughter
Alexa. I photographed them and did a family picture album for them.
Small world. :)
All the best,
Kevin

Kevin,
I have two sons 29 & 33 May I send you their addresses! Actually
they are very good to me...
I slowly weaned off Cymbalta... but since it comes in various dosages
I could do that easily...
90mg, 60mg, 30mg... It definitely helped with my pain but since
being diagnosed with MS
I would like to try a drug LDN - low dose naltraxone. Before trying
tho I'd like to get off of some of my meds.
Make sense? Still holding on to Lyrica. But now I will see if I do
get depressed, the Cymbalta was helping with
that also. I was originally on it for pain.

Sort of nice not being home... I can sit and read and answer all my
e-mails... take my time and enjoy!

Hi all,
Because I haven't been able to get my pain treated properly, I've
been taking
Tylenol Extra Strength w/Acetaminophen for a long time. I don't
take it every
day, but regularly. I take the bare minimum dose, usually no more
than one a
day. I have not had liver probems, but recently, new warnings
have come out
about long term use of acetaminophen. So I am cutting my usage
down. Just
wondering if there is a proper 'weaning off' of meds like Tylenol?
I tried
going cold turkey, but that didn't work. I will ask my doc about
this also,
just wondered if there's a basic weaning off rule.
Thanks,
Kevin
PS: My Mom turned 86 today! Amazing lady! I made her some Josh
Groban,
Michael Buble, and Billy Joel cd's, and gave her flowers. :)
