I am really getting slack with this blogging thing. I should be ashamed but, I'm not. If you remember back some time ago when I mentioned 'changing up meds'...well, I've pretty much had the summer from hell! Since the end of June, I have been on a new drug for FMS, called Savella. At the same time, I began weaning off the antidepressant, that I had been on for years. Woohoooooo, people...what a ride it has been!
I can truly say with great confidence that I pray I never have to experience anything like this EVER again! The physical sickness that came with the withdrawals from this medicine, were almost intolerable. There were literally days when I prayed to die. The headaches and dizziness were bad enough, but when the nausea kicked in, too...well...let's just say, there was never a great day. There were hardly any good days, either.
Most of my summer is foggy to me because I slept through a huge portion of it. I slept, not only because I was sick and 'drained', but also to keep from actually experiencing the withdrawals I was having. I think I may can sympathize with an addict, going through rehab.
Today, as I write this I can comfortably say, that particular drug is out of my system. Praise the Lord! Hopefully, brighter days are ahead for me. Til next time, blessings!
