The Great Taper

Aug 18, 2008 10:19

So today was a big day at the dr's office. It's been almost 3 years of fibro drugs now, so we're going to attempt - the taper.

(Dum dum DUMMMMMMM) (That's scary music, not a comment on my intelligence.)

Somehow, someone figured out that the fancy anti-depressants work on the pain sensors in freaks like me with my special disease. It never really bothered me that I was taking all of it because in my world being as symptom and pain free as humanly possible is all I really care about. :) (Tom Cruise can kiss my medicated ass.) But I'm a little worried about going off this one. There have been a couple times in 3 years where I missed a pill 2 days in a row, and I was a biological mess. There are these crazy brain zap things when you blink or move your eyeballs. It drives me nuts. But, I'm told if you can make it through a week then you're much less likely to go insane. (Hmm...bad choice of words...) So for now, I'm tapering off the daytime one. I should have appreciated my little pill this morning! ;)

health, doctor
