Default Question about choice to go off meds

[QUOTE=visioniosiv;1075620]

Hey Visioniosiv,

We seem to have a lot in common - namely that my instinct has always been that my body is capable of healing itself more than invasive procedures from docs (of which I've had plenty).

I'm currently at a crossroad - and I'd love a bit of insight based on your experience. I've been on Gabapentin for the last year, and quite frankly I'm not sure if it's doing anything. I got myself into remission last fall, then completely reflared and have been stuck cycling for awhile - so really what are the meds doing?

So now I have a choice. Either get myself off the damn chemicals affecting my brain, or attempt to add cymbalta while I'm currently on the gabapentin - since the combo can supposedly be helpful. I hate the idea of adding more meds, but a part of me thinks its logical to try the combo before completely giving up on medication.

Curious your reason for going off - and if you felt like they were actually stifling your body's own ability to heal.

Thanks!

-jamie
