So I tried...
I decided back in end of March that I wanted to be off some of the meds I have been taking for a while now. While some I need to be on like my synthroid, and possibly the neurotonin for the nerve damage (although Im not really sure it does anything). j Im also on tizanidine, ultram and motrin.
The doc suggested eliminating my afternoon dose of ultram. I failed on that and had to cut it in half. Im on half of the afternoon dose till Monday then I will half the evening dose for a week then half the morning dose ....then god knows what. Ive read some pretty nasty accounts of withdrawal from ultram so im weening myself quite slowly. It was also advised that I not stop the tizanidine till im off the ultram as the tizanidine will help with the ultram withdrawal.
Yesterday I got this hairbrained idea to try to go from 600mgs of Motrin 3-4 times a day to taking an over the counter Tylenol Arthritis. WRONG!!!! I woke up this morning in an incredible amount of pain. I took another dose and hoped for the best. I didnt move from bed till almost noon when I took yet another dose. Then of all things I tried to go food shopping. I was in tears by the end of everything. I gave in and took the Motrin again at 4pm then again at 7 and I will take another dose before bed. I know its alot and Im probably pickling my liver but I just cant take the pain.
All I want is to be out of pain so I can exercise and lose weight. My mind is into this why cant I just get to the point where my body will cooperate.
Im planning on going ot school in the Fall I dont want to be in agony in school!
