thanks. I walked in the hall today after putting on blue emu. talk about friendly new yorkers. three new yorkers ,two young ones and one middle aged one came to the rescue and then Zeynep spotted me on the ground and two were able to get me in a cab. my doorman and zeynep got me into the building. after resting the doorman helped me up the elevator onto the floor into my apartment with Zeynep. Cecilia came over later twice.

I am sorry you are struggling.
((((HUGS))))

I hope my doctor is in tomorrow -I am so itchy. both cymbalta and xanax can make you really itchy. I want off both. I can;t stand it. One gives me tremors.Cecilia gave me a cariton d =that did nothing

did you try benadryl?
That is very effective with itching.

yes I tried it

I changed my allt and will see him at 10;30 ON WED

Bobby,

I don't blame you for wanting to stop both meds. If I remember correctly, you were on the Xanax before you were on the Cymbalta, and you weren't itchy then?

You have to taper off the Xanax unless you are on a very low dose, or you will go through withdrawals unless you have some Klonopin left and are going right back on that...

You have to be on something for anxiety anyway. I would call your pdoc if you don't have enough Klonopin left to last you until your next appointment if you are stopping the Xanax.

I hope the itching goes away...

You may want to try Aveeno's Skin Relief Body Wash. It's worked really well for me in the past, and I haven't needed lotion afterwards, but I've used it anyway. They have a bath soak, but it makes the bottom of the tub really slippery (I remember that from when I could take a bath).

I hope the itching goes away soon :hug::hug::hug:

I'm so glad that you have an appointment soon. All the itchiness must be so uncomfortable :hug::hug::hug:

the itchiness is awful. It got progressively worse. it is even in my nose and eyes and behind my ears. It could be from both meds. I have klonopin but I did some reading and don;t want to mess around without the doctor's instructions. I don't want to stop because it mentioned positible seizures. I just wnt to 60 xanax. at first I was going to go back to klonopin and zoloft but then when I saw seizures I decided to wait for the doctor.

I think that is safe and sound thinking, Bobby :hug::hug::hug:

I hope that things get straightened out at your appointment tomorrow, and the itchiness stops!!! :hug::hug::hug:
