I did it!

I'm completely med free for the first time in nearly 2 yrs.
 
I still have daily attacks but they seem to be much shorter in duration.
 
It was a difficult detox but I stuck to my guns and I am now completely free and clear.
 
I can also say that I feel like I have much more energy despite the wake up calls and that I am definitely more lucid!

Congratulations E2. That's a fabulous step in the right direction. I'm sure you've read all the threads about RC seeds.

Congrats, I've heard lots of good results from the chronics who detox. I'm blessed to be an episodic so I stay fairly short duration on my meds. I tip my hat to anyone with the courage to cold turkey it.

It was far from cold turkey.
I'm not stupid Wink
I started detoxing @ a slow rate of 40mg per week.
This took me from the beginning of Decmeber until now.
Thanks for the support y'all

Good for you E2
 
If "normal" people knew how tough that was, they certainly wouldn't ever want to meet you in a dark ally.
 
Well, maybe some of the women would but that's a different story.  Grin
 
Good luck on your journey

Congrats E.  
 
Is this a complete detox?  You don't use any meds as abortives?  How about melatonin?
 
Just wondering.

Way to go Eric. You have my respect.
 
Not an easy job.
 
I think you may also find the hits a lot cleaner as well. More so, the recovery from a hit may be faster.
 
Like Aussie above, other than the seeds this year, I hadnt taken meds in over 10 years.
 
Hope relief comes soon.

Way to go cutiepie! I'm so impressed with you and I'm so very glad that you are already feeling the benefits.
Where's that Jonny bloke? I'm sure he came off his meds for other reasons.. I know he is currently PF and I wonder if the two could be connected? It would be worth asking him and getting a little survey going don'tcha think??

E-dub-
That's great news bro.  I've cut it down to verap, melatonin and o2, which is a big cahnge for me.  I really am happy for you.  You have been one of the biggest helps to me here, whether you wrote directly to me or I used your advice from another thread.  Sounds like evreything continues going in the possitive directions that it sounds like for you.  I can't wait til I can be completely off this 'garbage' myself.  Much luv, congrats and PFDANs to you!
