Hi Bob this is the first time in over three years i've taken any meds. I've gone for acupuncture a few times and have sought herbal solutions and have done great up until last week. It hit me out of the blue as if it was never away. When I had the Gamma Knife my DR. said it may stay gone and it may come back. He said it's normally good for about three years. It's been 3and1/2 years so I did pretty good. I know all about cold turkey. Right now I'm desperate. Trileptal was better than Tegretal Neurontin or the mix. So that's where I'm at. As for my language I'll watch it but between the pain and having to come back to these pills it sucks{p.s} Andy
