Morning Liz....how's our resident pine cone maker?
Good morning Cowgirl.
I'm doing ok today. I just can't seem to get any sleep. That's about the only problem I have though. If that is the only wd I am going to get I can live with it. lol. I know I'll sleep at some point. How are you today?
Love,
Liz

I think that, on top of everything else, if I couldn't sleep, I would go nuts. If I don't get at least 8 hours, I am the physco b**** from hell. I'm not sure why I sleep so well, I don't take anything, I even went of off the doxepin, which made me comatose. Maybe because I get lots of fresh air and excersize and I don't stop moving until about 10 at night. Eating light after 6, a warm shower (I know, your tub's too small) and no caffiene after 2 in the afternoon. Ater awhile, we start spinning on it and then make the problem worse. I'm surprized that the meds you are taking don't make you sleepy?
I'm doing good today. We're leaving for Vegas tomorrow for the National Rodeo Finals. We go every year, lots of horses and cowboy butts. I love it.
Love
Lisa

Hey Lisa,
The rodeo sounds like fun. Never been to one. Yeah, the doctor told me to take the medication at night before bed because it would make me sleepy. It's not making me sleepy though. I'm wondering if because they actually make me feel so good I am just not used to all the energy I have now? Sounds strange but I had this problem since I started on this medication. I have had the problem other times in the past too but it wouldn't go on this long.

"Horses and cowboy butts"....sounds like the makings of a good country song....lol.
I wish I could get the sleep thing down as well, Liz. At the moment, I've been retreating to bed early, asleep by 9:30 or 10, but waking up at 3 or 4 ready to go. Oh well, it sure is better than that hydro withdrawal fog I woke up in each morning. M.

I agree None, I rather have the no sleep then be using and be depressed.
I feel so lucky too. I've read about the wds that everybody gets. I have had some when I ran out of pills in the past. But this time I had none, only the lack of sleep. I can handle that. Especially right now since I have no work right now. I'm sure when I get tired enough I will crash.

Is it the cymbalta that made you not have withdrawls?

Hi Briar,
I'm not sure if the cymbalta helped me not to have wds. I cut way back on the pills before I just quit I was down to 1 to 2 pills a day for a month or longer. So, I think that cutting back so far before quitting helped. I didn't cut back like some I read about on here. I took one pill away each week. Until I got down to the 1 to 2 pills a day. Then it took me awhile to just let them go. What ended up happening was I ran out of those pills. They put my husband on the cymbalta for pain. So, then I asked my doctor after reading up on the cymbalta if I could try it. She wrote me a prescription and it's been working out well. Her deal with me was that if she allowed me to go on the cymbalta I would agree to counseling. I told her I would. The counselor has been calling and leaving messages that I'm yet to answer. lol. I made the deal though so Weds when the counselor is in I will call her. Just not thrilled to be talking to a shrink. But who knows? Maybe it will help. Which is another problem. I feel so good lately, that I don't even feel as if I need their help. Oh well. Im rambling, lol, Have a nice day.
