Weening off prescription medications

I’ve been on natural supplements for about 9 weeks now and I can honestly say I feel better than I’ve felt in years. I know that’s a bold statement, but all of you out there who are suffering from or in recovery from Cushing’s know what I’m talking about.

I’ve been taking my daily regimen of prescription medications in conjunction with these supplements, with the goal of finding a healthy balance before I started weening off the prescriptions. Well that day is here! (Note: Please do not start or stop prescribed medications without consulting with your doctor first.) I’ve been on Synthroid to treat hypothyroidism and Prozac to stabilize my moods since 1 month post-surgery from Cushing’s. Two weeks ago I started weening off Synthroid, reducing my dose to every other day for a week. Once that was done, I did the same with Prozac. And you know what? I don’t feel any difference. I guess I can attribute that to one of two things: the natural supplements I’m taking are working their magic, bringing my body back into balance or the prescriptions had lost their effectiveness at this point in my recovery.

Either way - I’m happy to be free of prescriptions. No more calling in refills or multiple trips to the pharmacy every month. Now all I have to do is order my supplements online and with the click of a button, they’ll be in my mailbox within a matter of days.

On a side note, my son Mason celebrated his 6th birthday a couple of days ago on Sept 13th (born on 9/13 and weighed 9lbs 13oz!). It was not only a milestone for him, but for me too!
