coming up on Monday…. we’ll see how much has changed!
How to get off my medication
It made me
peaceful 
"freedom is a state of mind"
How I did it: I weaned myself off just in time to go through withdrawal symptoms over a 3 week period.
I was taking one medication to mask my feelings and now I feel them fully and mindfully.
One medication helped me sleep but now I use yoga and chamomile tea.
Lessons & tips:
- There are several holistic methods that get the job done better and in a more fulfilling manner.
- Tell doctor you are looking into living a life without medication.
Resources: It is a secret from my doctor and friends. People tend to rely very heavily on The Medical Model, whereas, I believe in a Higher Power.
People doing this are also doing these things:

So much more comfy
9 months ago
I just noticed that I haven’t been cold, like I used to be in a long, long time. I used to get bone-chilling cold and the only way I could warm up was to be in a very very hot shower for 30 minutes or more.
I turned the heat down in the house to 18 and I’m normally just sitting around in a tshirt and jeans. The house is drafty, and I’ve been busy sealing up doors and windows where I can, but it’s not bothering me like cold used to.

I wonder....

what my blood results will say now… I’ve lost weight, so logically, my body would need less meds from that. But with the changes I’ve made to my diet, the detox I did and the general minimization of chemicals in my life now, I wonder if my thyroid has started to heal and is a little less confused? I wonder if it’s had enough time to make some changes.

I am officially off one medication and anticipating the uncomfy side effects or withdrawal effects and now I only have one more medication to learn to do without. I’m keeping my 3rd med until I can afford a hysterectomy [hint,hint]

I am on medication for High Blood Pressure
Ideally I want to get this under control without the help for pills, of course one of my other things may help achieve this….
The best thing I've ever done!

Seizure-free for 3 years, my brain injury has mostly healed itself. I had to promise not to drive a car for 3 months while I went off, but I’m officially medication free! WAHOO!!!!
