Hi Chloe,Did you notch up your amitripytline? Someone else posted here about Flax seeds helping with med-induced constipation. The Flax stuff also is supposed to help mood stabilization, too. Just an idea. I just wonder if the AMI is helping you sleep better (despite the pain), and that improved sleep makes for more natural defenses against the pain..and you have less cycling because you sleep better?? Well, the weirdest thing happened at my pdoc visit today. I mentioned having insomnia/dysphoria with the Wellbutrin I was taking and that I had to stop it. So guess what happened?, I get handed a script for Dexedrine. I was informed that the metabolites of the WB were indeed causing the insomnia and that the dex would leave my system quicker and metabolize more readily. I just took a dose today and barely noticed it. I did get quieter at work and wasn't as chatty and silly like I have been lately. Also, I seem to be thinking *less*. Very unusual and unexpected. Maybe it is the flax oil kicking in?
