Sithie
I am so sorry you've had such a rough time.

I just wanted to let you know you have been missed.

Sithie,
I remember you well. I unfortuantly was'nt able to get any of my seeds to grow in Pa, I wish that I would of saved them for now in Ca. You have been missed.

I have'nt taken the meds. that you have mentioned, so I can't offer any advice. I can say that about a year and a half ago during a med change I did have a major change in my personality and emotions. I became more and more anxious also. I was given Xanax whixh I still take and my pain meds were changed to non-narcotic types.

I would discuss this very soon with your dr., maybe he should have weaned you off of the one med slowly while introducing the new med. I know my father had some serious reactions when he was taken off of 2 drugs that he had been on for 10 yrs. and put on new meds.

I wish you the best and hope this gets taken care of soon. Keep in touch with us.

Love
Vickie

You Mentioned I don't know much about, but the Methadone Replaced Fentanyl for Me, and I had Only Very Small Withdrawal Symptoms with the Switch. I Hope Your Dr. can get this Under Control for You, and Please let Us Help when You Need it, Lord knows You have Helped Me enough Over these Years!!

Sithie- glad you have come home to the forum family. sorry you are having so much trouble with your meds. I take Effexor XR for my RSD and depression. It seem to help with both. I have tried to go off it a couple time this year, but every time I do with in two days the pain increases and I can hardly walk so have decide will take as ordered.

Please come and share both the good and bad, we are here to help each other.
