Thanks Shelly
I will cont to search for info on this and also talk to the Dr further on it. He was also going to research the infusions I have been having to see if they might have any bearing on the sugar levels.
I have found that Lyrica didn't make me gain weight but the cymbalta sure has. I have been on it since it came out in oct 2004 and have put on a lot of weight. I don't eat that much either. I did try to go off it over the past month and go on another med, while trying this it worked fine while lowering the dose (I was on 3 30mg/d) but when I went off the last one and was off it several day I cont to have severe hot flashes and dizziness all day and night. Nothing would cool me off or stop the dizziness. I don't know what or what this was doing it but my Dr told me to cont with the 1 dose a day. I hope this will help with loosing some of the weight that the cymbalta has put on by reducing the dosage. I never had any problem with wweight gain with the Lyrica though.
I would love nothing more than to get off all this medication, no telling what else it can be doing to us that we don't know about.
