Hi, Phillipa
> Scott I take a total of 2 ibuprophen's a day both spaced 4 hours apart one with dinner and 1 before bed ( take with 1/4 banana and 1/4 cup of non fat Greek yogurt). My thoughts are that the back and neck pain during sleep will disappear which they do and wake pain free in the am.
I'm glad your experimentation led to a treatment that helps you. I am amazed that you can profit from so little ibuprofen. That's excellent. What are your thoughts on naproxen?
> I have about what your Mother has no surgeries though. And keep cutting down on the same doses of meds I've taken for years. I have to wonder what would happen if just stopped them all one at a time. Doses are so low. 2.5mg of lexapro, under 25mg of luvox keep chipping pieces off the pill. Then the 10 mg of valium cut in half and chipped smaller also & .75mg total xanax . Half the benzos take at sleep and then when wake during the night the second half.
I hope you can discontinue everything without losing quality of life.
> I do know that something is giving me nightmares or just strange dreams of trying to find my home.
Would you say that you have any kind of PTSD? You might want to research prazosin (Minipress) as a treatment for nightmares, especially if you have a history of repeated trauma early in life. For me, prazosin acts as an antidepressant, despite my not having nightmares.
