Update after doctors appt.

My last post I was complaining of  some side effects that i was having such as, my vision has drastically changed letter and numbers seem to blear together and cant seem to make them out.  I have increase aggression and increased anxiety attacks.  As well has having trouble urinating.  So good news and just to let everybody know it was the Cymbalta that was causing these side effects my doctor is decreasing my dose over the next week and taking me off so that is good no more side effects.  I just wanted to say thanks to those who posted your ideas and words of encouragement meant a lot.  So now I am currently taking Lyica 75mg three times a day for a week the 100mg three times a day trying to build up to 400mg total.  He also increased my Coloazepam to 2 to 3mg at night to help with sleep and anxiety.  We change the pain medication to oxycodon 1 to 2 every 6 hours.  Did you guys know that there is a nationwide shortage on this drug.  Hard to find here in Port Angeles.  Oh then we added Prozac 20mg in the morning to help with depression and anxiety.  Well i better quite rambling on and thanks again gals glade to have someone who understands to talk to.

My vision is a little blurry from the cymbalta but it works so well for me that I'm gonna stay on it and just squint more.lol Lyrica made me gain so much weight that I went off that. That darn oxy shortage got me too. I've had to switch to morphine twice a day because the oxys are scarce as hen's teeth. Good luck on your new meds, hope they do the trick!

Hislady,
I am SO glad you have found something that works for you! To know at least one of us has gotten some relief is so worth all the pain we go through ya know. I have found a new love in Yoga. The stretching and meditation has helped me so much. I still take my opana aka morphine. I love it!! It helps so much that I actually look forward to taking it every morning.I wake up inpain but I take my opana with hot coffee and within mins the pain is gone. So yeah I think it is worth it.
The oxy shortage got me up here too. So I take the darvocet and vicodin now........
anyhooooo I wish you much continued pain freeness........LOL......talk to you later on
