Mike you are right! Even that burning iching feeling around the nostril is almost gone. Hey I can even touch that area but I use caution.The TN pain finally ( I pray! ) left me yesterday. I spoke to my neurologist on Friday and I am on 225 mg of Trileptal twice a day and only 30 mg of Cymbalta once a day. Mentally I feel much better on less Cymbalta and feel much better physically. I am sleeping well and I am not tired in the daytime.

Even though I haven\'t had that pain for a while now I am still careful when touching that area. It turns into a habit like holding your hand over an electric burner to see if if is sill hot. We human are trained so easily.
I am still taking 120 per day of the Cymbalta; maybe I should ask if I can taper down. My energy level is so bad that they are ginging me testosterone shots. One reason is the the oxy depleats your body of that hormone. I do not thing that it is working though; very hard to tell. Thanks for the heads up. I get more info here than from my doctors.
Thrilled to hear it is fading for ya.
Take it easy as usuall,
Mike
When I was taking 90 mg of Cymbalta my energy level was 0. But that is my body. All I know is that I felt like walking a mile for the first time in 6 months for fun last week. Guess it is my energy level returning slowly.
