In reply to Quitting meds, no more trazodone, Lorazepam......., posted by janejj on June 18, 2002, at 12:31:52
Hi Jane,
I'm also weaning myself way down. Don't know if I can expect to do it completely since I've tried before and always came crawling back. However, I'm tired of adding yet one more drug to deal with the depression, the anxiety, the insomnia, the tiredness, the achiness, etc, etc. I'm on Remeron, lorezapam, lithium, Ambien and natural thyroid. Just got off Neurontin and am now in the midst of a 10 day juice fast to clear things out and get my sense of health back. The thyroid will stay and I'm even going to up my dosage since I'm suspecting that alot of my symptoms are due to a resistant hypothryoid.Like you, I am very grateful that these meds are here for us, but there comes a point when you just have to say 'Enough!'. Much as most doctors want to help and have the best of intentions, I can't put my confidence in anyone who can only fit me in for 20 minutes every 2 months and then prescribe yet one more drug. Good luck to us both! - BarbaraCat
