Title: Just when I thought it was safe.....RE-CYCLING?
Post by godsjoy on Sep 25^th, 2003, 7:30am

Yep....Just when I hit my 12th week.....I figured it will have to stop now.....winding down mode.....I went off my Verapamil and Zocor as my liver functions were messed up......OOOOOOPS.... I had about 3 pain free days and nights and then BAM....here they come again....at night....building with intensity.....CRAP!!!!!
I called my Neuro's right hand girl and she said I shouldn't have just stopped my Verapamil.....but taper off one week at a time with a lower and lower dose....sooooooo I started back up on my Verapamil and I'm waiting for that to kick in......Thank God for my Oxygen.....but I sure would hate to have a double cycle because of my mess-up......

Love you guys and glad you're all here....I'm tired....
Blessings,
Karen

Bummer indeed, but lesson well learned. We're all gonna be at this for a while.....put this lesson in the notebook for the next round, eh?

Karen,

I think that's what I did. Double cycle this year.

I was hopeing that getting back on meds quickly would make it go away but it keeps hanging around.

Hope that you results are better.
