It looks like I wont be needing the Amitriptyline now.

The Cymbalta was causing excess stomach acid, so regular use of Gaviscon seems to has settled the diarrhea. Now I can continue on the minimum dose of Cymbalta which is enough to erradicate some of the lingering symptoms of PCS.

I've been on it for months with good results. Improved sleep and reduction of headache, slowly, paired with other therapies.

MsRIO that is good to hear, but I am going to avoid switching meds because I have one which really works. Did you also get back to work?

I just started this med a few days ago (10 mg), and so far I can't tell whether it's making a difference. I haven't noticed any negative side effects, which is good, but I'll need more time before I can say whether it's helping with sleep and/or headaches.

My start date is June 17.

That's after six weeks of (in my opinion) gruelling rehab. I'm so exhausted I ache. Barely can post here anymore. Fried.

Good luck with work, and pace yourself because it is tiring.

I firstly did 1 day, then 2 per week and stayed at 3 days for 2 months, before eventually settling on 4 days per week.

I am coping pretty much, but still have some symptoms all be it to a lesser extent.
