Hi roscoepeeco,
Hey, thanks for your suggestion. How very sound and concise. And sensible. I think this is close to what Scott was saying if not the same. Thank you. I don't know where your med knowledge is from, but I certainly appreciate it--here and in other posts I've read.
So update is:
Cymbalta 10mg. (Too fast. Had supreme head-zaps. Went up close to 15 by adding some sprinkles. Better.)
Dex 45
Ultram 0 mg
Xanax XR 1.0 mg
Xanax as needed 0 mg
Lyrica 75mg x day
My pdoc wanted me to start Lyrica AFTER Cymbalta, which makes sense if you're a doctor, but as me and a mother, if Lyrica was going to help, why wait? I need help NOW. That said, despite the decrease in snri after at least, jeez, 12 years, my mood is alright. I just feel very wonky.
I am going to try for dex, lyrica, xanax, and extra therapy. Maybe? (Hope, Hope, Hope.) If my boat springs a leak, I'll try emsam.
Wish me luck, and I really appreciate ALL the input. You guys/gals are great.

> Man...I am sorry you are feeling this way. Did you ever take Ultram or Dex alone or has it always been in combination with the other meds. I don't think polypharmacy is a tricky thing. I would reboot your program and start with a foundation. A medication that you know works.
