They have me on the meds for nerve pain from possible multiple sclerosis that's in remission right now, supposably. I'm going to get with a naturopathic doctor and see what to do. I stopped my meds 4 days ago and take 1 mg melatonin to fall asleep right now. I feel fine, so I'm not worried about me stopping the meds. I'm contacting my physician to see if it's ok to take herbs instead. I don't think that anyone has a right to tell someone that holistic way of life is not a consideration. In my eye's, the doctors that I've been dealing with told me to keep doing what makes me feel good and the meds were messing me up, so I'll go with my gut feeling. Thanks for the reply.
