Default Insomnia no more!

I'm happy to write that today was my last few days of insomnia! I am now being treated fully for my anxiety and depression! Still on the Neurontin and starting up Cymbalta again, as soon as the Cymbalta starts working, my pdoc wants to take me off the Neurontin. I'm starting to be hopeful, however, I am feeling a bit sick today due to the Cymbalta, it feels as though I am a pregnant lady, my symptoms occur straight up in the morning! lol! The Cymbalta is improving my mood and so is the Neurontin. Thanks for the support so far and glad to be here with you guys on my journey to Middle-Earth..errr...I mean recovery!

Currently going through Paxil withdrawals, and psych has me on L-Theanine, Benadryl for zaps, and Lemon Balm. It has eased it by a bit, so I am continuing the treatment till 1 month from now.

Was experiencing:
Migraines, Headaches, Nausea and Vomiting, Panic Attacks and Anxiety, Depression, Major Insomnia, Brain Fog, Tinnitus, Lethargy, Loss of appetite, Major Heart Palpitations, Occipital Neuralgia has eased a bit.

Vitamins and Medicines: , L-Theanine, Omega 3 Super DHA 900mg, Stress B-Complex Extra Strength, Potassium Gluconate 1000mg, Magnesium Malate 1250mg, Vitamin D3 2000 IU, Methylcobalamin B-12 5000 mcg, Vitamin C 500mg, Lemon Balm.

Things that helped me: My Vitamin Regimen, Medication, Earplugs (Love these!), Nature Sounds, Hydrotherapy, Neck Pillow with Heat, Heating Pads, Resting, Being Outside!

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. The anxiety from not getting the results you expect can be problematic.

Hi
Hope you get some results from these pills. I guess it's trial
And error, until you find what works. You sound pretty up beat
And that goes a long way to help recovery.��
Keep smiling��
Good luck to you.
Take care
Cx
