> Jaspar, first off -- how are you doing?
> I think you've been off C-word for 10 days or so?Instead of the weird visual thing every few minutes, I am getting it now just about a dozen or so times per day. That is immense improvement!
On the downside - my nerve pain is back full-force, and with it, muscle spasms. But it is funny - after going through the depression and torture of withdrawal, I view the nerve & muscle pain as relative... I am going to learn to live with it a different way.

> I'm at every other day.I chose to take it EVERY day, but just in decreasing amounts. I could not go a day without the C-word without severe symptoms.
>The doctor said they don't come any smaller than 30 mg
I had 20mg pills. It May be more difficult with 30mg but the process is the same.
You can ask the doctor to just write out the prescription for the 20mg and you'll worry about getting it (since you know it exists).
> At this rate it will be Christmas before I'm done!
> Does this schedule sound OK to you? Thanks.What can I say... it took me 6 months to come off the 60mg. The slowest part was the last 10-15mg or so.
> P.S. Coincidentally, a Cymbalta commercial is on as I write this!!! Should I throw something at the TV???Only if it is soft. My family might be tired of hearing me rant everytime the commercial comes on, but I guess they are polite and don't say anything.
