Good luck. I did it cold turkey with no problem, but I was psychologically addicted and pissed at my pain dr for doing this to me. It’s a long story, but pain dr is no longer there. I did it on my own not following orders.
I can attest that Lyrica does increase appetite and weight gain for some of us. I’m trying to get Savella now, instead, so will tell you more if and when I get it.
Talk to Graveyardnerd, if you can. She might be able to give you some insight on what you'll be doing. You can "friend" her to send her a message, if you wish.
Hope it works for you Pet!
I was on Savella for about a month b4 my fibro diagnosis and it was ok. I’ve been on an increased dose of Cymbalta 90mg for about 3 months now. I think the weight gain has probably also been a bit due to the holidays and stress. I’m also on nucynta for pain. I’m actually able to take walks with my dogs again!
Gentle hugs. I know how scary And overwhelming it can all be.
Have you thought of a sleep study?
I think I have been on a thousand drugs the past 28 years. I think we all have to find what works the best for us since we all react different to medications and all have different body chemistry.
I am hopeful to see some real medical break thoughs before I . Having dealt with CFS now for 28 years…blessings hugs hugs
