at the time, I was taking the following meds:
- Lyrica - 150mg/day
- modafinil - 200mg/day
- rabeprazole sodium - 20mg/day
- Cymbalta - 90mg/day
- lithium citrate - 3tsp/day
- lamotrigine - 75mg/day
my medication rituals were so engrained into my days. in the morning I would get up, get coffee started, put all of my pills into a little bowl and mix up my lithium and juice. and then down the hatch with it all. bedtime was very similar, but with fewer pills.
the first day of the vacation was february 9. I dropped down to just taking the lithium and Cymbalta. I was down to 60mg of Cymbalta and 2tsp of lithium. it felt pretty awesome to not take all the other stuff. oh yeah, I also took the rabeprazole sodium until I was done with the psych meds.
things went pretty good during the wean down period. every 5-6 days I dropped out 30mg of Cymbalta and a tsp of lithium. as of february 19, I was med free! wheeeee!
