MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction" (cinderella)

 I'm glad to hear about anyone who stops taking Lyrica. In my humble oppionion it should have been tested on the drug co big shots who push the stuff. I'm happy for those of you who have had luck with it, but it was a nightmare for my. The withdrawel symptoms lasted a week and I felt like a junkie quitting the heroin.

With Cymbalta, I had to take more meds to reduce the side effects, especially xanax, but at least you'll know right away if it will work for you, within 3-4 days. Best of luck, psk

 I tried Lyrica; it didn't help me, but I didn't have any problems either. I take Neurontin, does anyone else? It usually helps alot. I've been on it for 5 years. Cymbalta made me feel like I was gonna crawl out of my skin!! I guess everyone is different. Blessed Be

 I'm taking Cymbalta, a low dose. I haven't had any side effects, it really helps me. I had all the side effects from Lyrica, I like the idea of the big shots having to take Lyrica

 I have been on Cymbalta for a year and a half. I hated that medicine at first because I literally felt like had taken some acid for the first 3 days and slowly I came back to reality. I can't live w/o it now. It has stopped the burning better than anything else I have tried. I do feel rather emotional on it. I can't believe they prescribe it to people w/ depression. I definitely am a more depressed person on it. I actually joined the Cymbalta group at Walgreens. When it comes down to it I would rather be a cry baby and occasionally ticked off than to feel that burning pain any day. I almost didn't stay on it, but after realizing the side effects its easier to control. I think you will do fine, take it in the morning, at the same time.

 I take neurotin as well. I like neurotin, it has big benefits w/o all those crazy side effects.

 Cymbalta had put me in a zombie state.. the first day it made me cry for a few hours and the funny part i didn't have a reason to cry.. i had nausea,dry mouth, lack of appetite and heart palpatation.. it was the worst for me....I wasn't on it for long the Dr. changed it because of the side effects.. but everyone's diff.
