i had a bad reaction to cymbalta a few months ago, since then i've become a lot more educated about the meds i take. i'm on pain meds for neuropathy, another pill  for leg tremors, and one for my blood  pressure, i 've taken these for years and know my body's not having a problem with them, but i will not take any new meds because of all the side effects that could possibly happen. it's just not worth it to me to take the chance. i'll deal with the alergy, i'll lose a night's sleep, and my cholestrol can stay a bit high, at least i know i won't have a heart attack, become suicidal, walk in my sleep, or kill someone.  I don't trust the big pharmas any more and i'm not too keen on the fda, i'm not in pain and my legs don't shake, that's enough to keep me happy and productive.

no new meds in hawaii
