Duloxetine & Lidocaine Infusion

Very quiet at the home of The Balancing Kiwi at the moment.  I cut my medication down on Friday by 50% as was just too tired and lethargic all the time.  The first couple of days I felt quite good, but things have been getting worse and now I am in lots of pain, (areas that I'd forgotten about are now hurting again), so I'm guessing it was making a difference after all so will be upping the dose back up again tomorrow morning and I will just have to put up with being dull, tired and boring, but at least pain free.  Just hope that eventually my body and brain will get used to the fog, and it will start to clear.

Obviously the Lidocaine Infusion I had on 6th January didn't do anything.

For some photos of a few things I have managed to do you can visit my Doll blog Sewing for Sasha.

As for my tidying and decluttering, I either don't feel like doing because I am tired and unmotivated, or I hurt too much to do it!  Still what's new?!

Try reducing in smaller increments - say %5 for 2 weeks then another %5 for 2 (or more) weeks. Then you may find a dosage that works without being so debilitating.
