Thanks :) I'm also buying a pair of sunglasses since it randomly dilates my pupils to the point they take over the color in my eyes. It's quite embarrassing. I'd rather people not question or judge...
I was actually also going to suggest trying a nerve medication. Like for me I'd reccomended a gabapentin since I found that it works way better than cymbalta for my pain. Also cymbalta made me very...

My PM dr recently gave me a 15 day supply of Gralise which will gradually build me up to 1800mg per day. I was wondering how long the floating/ strange feeling will last. It helps a lot with pain...
