Not so much taking it correctly as taking it regularly.

I don't take it but hit and miss. If I happen to remember it I take it.

Which might be once a month. Which isn't helpful.

Now I'm on a combination of low dose prednisone, Trileptal and Lyrica and that works pretty well for me although at times of stress, I can feel my elbow trigger points getting pretty painful. I'm taking these drugs for PN, though.

Oh, and I'm on Flexiryl at bedtime and Vicodin as needed for this, too. The combination or all these things works well for me.

Until I went off the Cymbalta, I hadn't realized just how much it was helping with the fibro. However, as an antidepressant, I thought it sucked. So, I ultimately quit it for that reason.
