I just wanted to reply to your message. I am 19 weeks post mvd. I didn't realize that until I just looked at the calendar. At first I counted every week that went by. I've been able to wean myself off of dilantin and now I'm slowly weaning myself off of neurontin. When I'm off of that totally then I will start to wean myself off of the tegretol but I have to admit that I'm scared to death to be off of tegretol and to be completely medication free. I know I will take it very slowly but it is still very scary for me. How do I know if I don't try though? I'm also scared because winter is coming and just the thought of the cold wind is very scary. Hopefully everything will be okay though. But I just wanted to let you know that I also have very mixed feelings about coming off of my medications.
