So I was in Vegas last week and one morning forgot to take my Cymbalta and vitamins. We were away from our hotel room (ie, downtown Vegas and we were staying at Manadalay Bay--only the furthest hotel possible from downtown). All was going pretty well, then all of the sudden I was super anxious and the neck pain started flaring and I was just exhausted beyond belief. I managed to continue playing in the poker tourney the best I could until I was out. On the cab ride home the cabbie was insane!!! I was so nauseous by the time we got out of the cab my poor boyfriend basically had to carry me to the room. I had a horrendous night though once my sleeping aids kicked in I was passed out. Took my pills in the morning and was ok that day.

Valuable lesson learned....ALWAYS take your meds!!!!

" Has anyone had any luck with Ultram ER, or Lyrica? I have been on Ultram ER, 300mg, Lyrica 300mg, and Lexapro 30mg for over 2 years. I finally cut back on the Lyrica b/c I didn't think it was doing anything. I'm down to 100mg on that one and no difference. I'm flaring up now more than ever and can't figure out what's going on. I could NOT take Cymbalta. it gave me major anxiety and made my heart race. Does anyone have any other wonder drugs that have helped them? This is my first chat group and I've had FM for 3 1/2 years. I'm way too busy as a full time career woman and mom of two. But I've got to find some relief so am reaching out to whomever I can!
thx "
