I would much rather stay on it at a low dose and be comfortable than be miserable.

Hi and thanks for the answer. What was your dose before you cut back? I have cut back to 50mg in AM and afternoon and 100mg at bedtime. I have to admit that my pain level has increased since I lower my dose. This disease is so terrible. For me the meds that help take away my real personality. It is so hard to make a decision what to take. I think I have decided I am going to stay on the lower dose and put up with some of the pain.
I have also lowered my dose of Cymbalta after speaking with my neurologist. He thinks that the Cymbalta is the cause of my lowered emotions. I do feel since I lowered both I feel more with it. Hopefully, I can stay with the lower dose of Cymbalta.
