all I drink is water and green tea. Mostly water. I stopped eating bread months ago to help me loose weight.. I am highly sensitive to most medications

What meds are you taking? I found that Gabapentin (Neurontin) and Duloxetine (Cymbalta) worked well for me. I was also taking hydrocodone for pain but became allergic to it.

right now only Norco 5 mg. Gabapentin makes me break out and Cymbalta makes me very sick. Drs say I am highly sensitive to most medications and don't know what to give me
