▲ 56 r/Fibromyalgia
I wasn't on too much, 40 mg at the end of almost 3 years. But holy moly. I didn't realize how emotionally blunted I was and how it was affecting sleep. Im only week 2 without it.
I got the brain zaps (Still occasionally get them, mostly when tired at the end of the day) and had one day of severe anxiety. They don't really warn you how emotionally raw everything will feel in that first week.
My fibro isn't acting up almost at all. If it does I take 3 advil and go about my business. Don't get me wrong im still a little run down, but not as bad as being ON the medicine.
If I get a major flare up im definitely not going down that route again.
