I decided to get myself off of my meds a week ago. I got nervous after making the initial decision. Then the headaches came. I ended up having to not quit "cold turkey" but I have reduced drastically. I feel good about myself and my decision. I'm sure that no one on my "team" would agree. If asked why, their answer would be because there was a reason I was prescribed the meds in the first place. For me, it's a matter of proving whether or not this BP thing is alive within me because I was under a lot of stress at the time of my diagnosis.

I say this, if you pray, pray about it. Talk to your people (pdoc and T) about your desire. They may have some solutions for you. Wait it out to see if you are going to change your mind in a few days about wanting to come off. "Stuffing the meds" is definitely not an option for everyone.

Natural solutions . . . In my limited research, I have not found anything that has been proven to work.
