Default No more meds

Hi everyone and happy holidays to you, one and all,

Last year, just about this time, I stopped taking Lyrica/Neurontin but still needed Celebrex which I thought I'd have to take for the rest of my life. Well I just tried getting off again and voila, I don't need it anymore, 3 years after my 3 level Prodisc. I still have my 'as needed' patches, pain and muscle relaxer meds which I take whenever needed but on an everyday basis, I no longer take any spinal med, at least for now.

The only sticky wicket... I have these terrible headaches since stopping the Celebrex. Does anyone know if this is a withdrawal symptom? It's been about 5 days.

Happy New Year, Dale
