my Dr and I took a huge step and decided it we best for me to try and get off some if not all of my prescription meds. I can't imagine being on them for another 40 years. Just building up a tolerance and needing higher dosage or more meds to cope. We decided to try and function with meditation, essential oils, massage, diet and exercise. It's worth a shot. A lot of these meds they don't even know the long term effects of them and the side effects out weight the good they do.
With coming off my first set of meds cymbalta I knew there was people who had withdrawal. But I figured I could over come it and not let it effect me in such a big way.
I was wrong. I have been off it now for 4 weeks and am still having symptoms. The first week was horrible. I basically laid in bed to nauseous and dizzy to move or do anything. Keeping liquids down was a challenge. There were times I would start crying, laughing or have fits of rage all over nothing. The brain and muscles zaps are way less frequent now. Basically the only things that are causing me issues is the dizziness I get a few times a day and the nausea. It's been the worst I feel sick all the time and when I think I feel ok it turns out I can't keep food down again. I'm hoping in the coming weeks I can get my guts regulated etc. I am hoping that this will be a huge step in the right direction where I can start to maintain my health with diet, exercise, essential oils etc. I would rather be on less meds and need to take Tylenol once in a while then be on something that's clearly so toxic and doing more bad then gold for my body. I have already seen some of the issues I had start to resolve them self slowly.
This is a new journey and I'm so happy that my Drs and muffin are so supportive. It definitely makes it easier knowing I have the support.
This has been a big part of why I have been missing for the past month or so.
