I take a handful of prescriptions daily and am considering stopping the Lyrica and Cymbalta. I am scared the pain will be worse but what if after all the side affects of the drugs are gone I feel better. I know every ones chemistry is different but need your feedback

Order your cbd oil . I’m on NO prescriptions . You don’t have to ask your doctors unless you are taking something for another condition

I’m using Medterra now , but Nuleaf and CBDMd are rated highly for fibro . There are many reputable companies and some not . Just ask if their products are grown in CO or KY . some claim theirs are grown in the US, but in actuality , they are grown in foreign countries and then replanted for a brief while in the USA so that they can claim it is . Educate yourself by joining the oilusers group on Facebook where the administration has ranked the cbd products , posted articles on how to dose, and have a graph of which companies are best for which conditions.
If people say it hadn’t helped them , they usually have not found the correct dose or have not users it long enough .
Call your customer service for questions . I did not use Koi because you cannot talk to them , only mail ! It takes a period of research and experimentation .good luck !

I was diagnosed two years ago, ( been in denial) my specialist wanted me to go on Cymbalta. I tried it for a few days and went off of it. I had two other physicians tell me it would help me. I tried again recently but stopped it. Just don't like how I feel or the side effects. I know that I haven't given it time to work or for the side effects go away. I am not on any meds for fibro now just trying to exercise, meditation and so on. I wonder sometimes if I am being foolish not taking it like the doc recommends..

I am off all my meds because none of the Fibro meds helped me any way. I am currently off all my arthritis meds and off all my pain meds. The only arthritis med still open to whether I need it is my Low dose Chemo. I need to reschedule with my Rheumatologist soon and go from there. My last Chemo treatment was in October 2017. It use to be every 6 months. I only take full spectrum Hemp CBD oil which Is considered a legal food supplement by congress in the Farm Bill.

This is too funny because after reading on this site so many times about weight gain with Lyrica and I’m feeling soooo fat, I decided I was getting off it. First two weeks I took two less a day and last week took away one more! Still have three to go but my stomach has been really acting up lately. Not sure if I’ve caught a bug, whether it’s withdrawals from the Lyrica or whether I have something else going on in my stomach? So sick and tired of being sick and tired!!
