I can relate to that fear. After 18 years of trying to do it on my own and crashing every couple years, finally getting meds 8 years ago, I've come to the realization that the synthetic chemicals are just masking the real issue. Got the CD's, listened to Sessions 1-4 already on long drives, really got my gut upset and queasy, right now a little scared to continue until I get started on the process of switching from meds to the Good Living supplements. Anybody out there with any advice about HOW to make the switch from meds to organics with minimal upheaval in relationships and employment? I'm on 200 mg Zoloft and 1 mg of Risperdal (the combo recommended by a trusted doctor: the Risperdal at such a low dose is supposed to be just a stabilizer, but I realize now it not only takes away anxiety, but focuses me so sharply on the present that I don't FEEL the vibes - very unnatural and has wreaked havoc on my life... ) -- that has enabled me to cope for 8 years, but leaves me in control and empty -- can anyone relate to that feeling? Sorry if I'm not clear...
Wondering in Canada..........
Slowly getting better

Hi Pete:
I would advise that you taper off your meds slowly. You've been taking them for 8 years and your body will need to gradually withdraw from them. You can do it...and with the program working for you, taking your natural supplements, and weaning yourself ever so slowly, by the time you are done with the program, you'll be free from drugs. Make sure you consult with your doctor on advice as to the tapering off. Good luck...you'll do it because you want to do it. Just medically speaking, you don't want to throw your body into more stress...you've been on meds for 8 years, a few more months for a lifetime of a drug free committment won't matter. Hang in there!!
