So today is January 6, 2014. Dennis and I had talked about his reducing Cymbalta by 10mg. after the holidays. Well, I figured since he has to have a colonoscopy and have all of his upper teeth removed in January, that we would give him a months pass. Stupidly, I never talked to him about my idea. So, without mentioning it, he faithfully reduced his dosage by 10mg. on January 1st. It takes almost a week for the reduction to really kick into his brain, which it did today! I couldn't believe what he was saying. We have had a rough few weeks but today he found out that his other medication costs have doubled and he got very upset. Very upset. I wondered why Dennis was suddenly faithless and seemingly unrealistically angry. I was thoroughly surprised until he started putting pills back into his pill holders. He was putting Cymbalta back, because, because he was losing it.
Well duh. The dog is vomiting on every rug in the house, (the dog is almost 16 years old, very loved, and there is nothing the doctors can do), prices on drugs doubled, loved ones in the hospital, well everyone knows about difficult circumstances.. But I am just writing this to say that I HATE Cymbalta. He could handle all of lifes problems with faith until he reduced his Cymbalta by 10mg. We will still handle this with faith in our savior, Jesus. I told him I was so proud of him and that he is doing wonderfully!
