Getting along well...

I have been lax about sharing my experiences lately. Holiday buziness took over, I guess. I've been reading all my emails and posts with interest, though. I've learned so much through this site, to the point that I can answer my doctor's questions. He's a good guy and wants to learn more. He only has two other patients with... Read more Chevron

Thus ended the pure trial of verapamil.

I just got back from the psychiatrist's office, explaining how I feel lately, and she raised my cymbalta to 90mg instead of the 60 that I was on. Now, we'll really never know- if the combo works as a good preventative- if it was the cymbalta that's working as the preventative, or the verapamil- or even a combo of what it was when I...
