Hello @Appleblossom, @Determined, @Former-Member
the appointment with the specialist went good , all the blood test came back ok ,except for one which he has very high Cholesterol
He wants to stop the meds , he has tried reducing the meds but soon finds out he can not cope without them
the specialist said he needs to take a long time to go off them , he has been on them for a year and a half
wondering how I can help him to go off them when he wants too
No rain today -- It was 35 degrees here, sooo hot and still like the cyclone was sucking all the air away , so tomorrow should be raining and windy but on the edge of the cyclone
he wants to go off the meds by himself

I don't know @Shaz51
I think sometimes its better to just get it over with if going off something. But so long as you have psychiatrists ok that it wont be dangerous etc... i.e. not too slow, but again that has to be done with psychiatrist approval. I hated the anti psychotics as i couldnt work or function on them.

I tend to go slow when coming off meds.
Glad his general health is alright .. we all struggle with cholesterol.

@Shaz51
That must be tough. Not sure what I would do if my darling decided she wanted to do that all by herself without dr guidance.
Is his mind made up or just talking about it?
I have to admit though I hate being on meds and avoid at all costs as I seem to ber hyper sensitive.
