I was off of them for less than two weeks and the shaking became unbearable and I could hardly speak. I feel better now, but I'm only taking half the dose I was and so they are still fairly evident. I am on a State program and have filed for SSI and SSDI. I have fibromyalgia and I'm manic-depressive too. I was able to handle all of this for many years, but now it is past the point of no return. I pray for patience everyday and hope the paperwork won't bury me.
