I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO!

I DID IT!!!

I REALLY DID IT!

Today, I called the pharmacy and told them I am CANCELING my prescription for Hydros!!!!!!!!  They were ready for pickup today.  Now, all 120 of those little white chalky pills will be going back on the shelf at the pharmacy.

WOOOOOOOO

HOOOOOOOO

Additionally,  I called my doctor and told her I have become addicted to the hydros and will not be taking them in the future.  She recommended the following alternative meds to to manage my pain:

Zoloft
Cymbalta
Lexapro
Neurontin (Gabapentin)

My question to you guys is, has anyone on this board tried any of these meds?  Are any of them addicting?  Do any of them help pain or sleep long term?  Your advise and personal experience with these drugs is greatly appreciated.  Now that I am off the Hydros (w00t!) I still need to manage pain for DDD (Degenerative Disk Disease) and RLS.  

Please offer some advice if you can.

And....

WOOOOOOO

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

FOR

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Ok I just have to say WAY TO GO HUNNY =) YOU DID AWESOME !!!!! You are going to love life so much more, that took so much courage and you had it and did it !!!!! I am so proud of you and I know that you are so proud of you also .

My mom has taken Zoloft and Neurotin for a long time and never had a problem, I know that with Anti Deps you have to taper off them, But other than that from my knowing you should do fine, Someone will come along that has taken the others im sure ! but once again way to go
