Overall I feel better about this all from the visit this morning.
I am able to quit the amitriptyline today. He agreed that what I said about everything it isn’t working for me right. Also it is really staying in my system longer than it should so … he agreed immediately with me.
I asked for an ADHD referral … I just want that now so that every possible everything will work out.
He is putting me on Cymbalta in this form:DULOXETINE DR 30 MG
I am waiting a week without amitriptyline before starting DULOXETINE DR 30 MG.
I’m keeping eletriptan for migraine rescue.
I actually have one right now, started as I went to the Dr. about a 30 min drive. I waited too long to take it once home. But it does feel some better now at 2:10pm.
He’s also looking in the Alpha-Wave device to fill out the form for a prescription to buy it … I have to do that. We have no insurance or subsidized program at all.
So this week will be yuck, then starting the new med, in the mornings, and it’ll take awhile (weeks) before it started working for me in whatever way it will, it is for generalized anxiety, which you can call what a full blown emotion heavy adhd’er.
Off label it is given to ADHD sometimes … so we’ll see how much my anxiety goes down and focus, more help than hindrance and basically eventually maybe some pain and fibromyalgia help.
I was going to bring up fibromyalgia but Dr. brought it up first and I was like ‘yeah, I think it is mostly ADHD and Fibromyalgia, so good.’
Getting a diagnosis might just get me talking stuff out that nobody else will listen to. So good.
