Off the Meds!

"Discontinuing therapy: Decrease dose by ~50% per week, over at least 2 weeks unless safety concerns require a more rapid withdrawal. Discontinuing carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, or rifampin should prolong the half-life of lamotrigine; discontinuing valproic acid should shorten the half-life of lamotrigine"

Well, I've been on 25mg a day for 2 weeks. I think it's time to bid adieu to this little quarter of a pill. I'm not going to attempt to chop it in half again or anything - it's time I let go of the railing. I only had a pinky hold anyway.

I'm going to feel so good not having to think about this anymore. I won't have to think about miscarriage, developmental delays or deformities. I'm lucky because for some reason my neurologists over the years just refilled Lamictal as a monotherapy, no other drugs necessary. And over the years, I learned my triggers and educated myself about the condition I have. What's alarming to me is that people aren't educated about their own health boggles and they have to go discover this on their own - in a sense, go get a medical education.

And graduation from medical school for me, my friends, is the Saturday after next. I'm unimpressed with my 1st neurologist who put me on Dilantin and told me I wouldn't be able to hack it in med school.

Now I feel like I know what's going on in my body and I vow to teach my patients what's going on in theirs.

  4. Do anyone still doubt natural herbs? I've seen the great importance of natural herbs and the wonderful work they have done in people's lives. I wonder why people still spend their money on injections and drugs each time they are sick. Natural herbs can cure all kinds of illness including herpes, diabetes, asthma, HIV, HSV1&2, hepatitis, HPV etc. I've seen it with my own eyes. I was cured from Herpes and HPV and my aunt and her husband were cured from Hiv too by DR. Chukwu madu herbs. He uses natural herbs to cure different kind of virus. Dr. CHUKWU,prove to the world that natural herbs can cure all illness and he cured countless people using herbs. I know is hard to believe but am a living testimony. I was diagnose of Herpes and HPV in 2016 and i believe there is cure even when the doctors said there is no cure yet. I strongly believe in herbs and i came across a comment on a blog written by Lisa Pierre, saying she was cured from HERPES by Dr. CHUKWU MADU and i contacted his herbal hom on the email that was provided on the comment and order one for myself and he send it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it and after i finish taken it i went for checkup and the result shows am Herpes and HPV NEGATIVE. The doctor said that the virus is completely gone from my body. There is no harm trying herbs it work perfectly and it has no effect. You can contact Dr. CHUKWU MADU to get yours..
