Dear Lucy, I am praying for you to have the strength to persevere with your cleansing process. I hope you will be able to phone your Dr. when you are in fear or in need of his assistance. Hopefully he will be weaning you off your meds., but his ways are surely only for your benefit. God bless you and give you strength. Lovies.
Lucy hang it out for a few weeks and then marvel at what is happening, its like giving up smoking. sudenly you fiond that the senses are kicking in and you are awake for the first time in a long time.
Coming off ANY drug is hard work be it smoking or cannabis or prescription drugs, But its worth the effort.
Yes you will ache but with all those drugs in yor system its a surprise you could even function on any level and your Kidneys and liver must need a good well earned rest from trying to sift out the stuff. If i could be there with you to help you through i would be in a flash as this is going to be the hardest thing you have ever done.
you will get all the suport you need here so let us know day by say how you are and doing and let us cheer you on. Have a great new year once the fight is over. the best way its t do something and take your mind away from the battle. Hugs and prayers Annie in the UK
one step at a time, and somethimes they have to be baby steps. Drugs can cause such adverse reactions, that if you do get them out of your system you should feel like a new woman.
TAKE IT EASY AND FOLLOW YOUR DR. INSTRUCTIONS. TRY TO KEEP YOUR SELF BUSY.
Sending all my prayers to you, remember to start taking a smaller doze little by little you body needs to adjust to it.
Take it slow and listen to the doctors, you need to wean slowly or you will be so sick. Good luck to you and this site has the best prayer group there is, they all send love from around the world, hang in there. Will be thinking of you daily in this struggle!
Hugs, Debra

Take one day at a time Lucy, the road ahead might at times be bumpy but the rewards are well worth it.
It sounds like a huge step forward if you doc thinks you're ready to come off all meds. I hope it makes you feel more in control of your destiny and help you look forward to a much brighter year in 2012. Good on you, for being brave enough to take this step.
Lucy, onwards and upwards, with a SMILE- your far too young for a double chin!! hahaha-

May God keep you in his loving arms!!!Hang in there and listen to you Dr's. My prayers are with you and wishing you the best in this time of your life
I wish you the best, and hope that you are working closely with your doctor. Are you quitting all at once?? Hang in there, and please call the doc if you start having some really bad reactions. There are ways to taper down or "detox" so that you aren't totally miserable.
LUCY - REMEMBER WE LOVE YOU, AND YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS TIME. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR DOCTOR. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU. AND REMEMBER SOON YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THIS NEW YEAR. LOVE, JAN
You can do it Lucy....women at strong...remember that and ask God for help. I'll say a prayer for you.
God Bless Lucy. You have taken an awsome step but it must be done with your Dr.s help. I pray for you and you already know who to look to for help. God's word say's he'll be with you and yes I have found His grace is sufficient for all our needs. This will not all happen over night, it will take time just hang in there. You are very brave./Lillian

Saying prayers for you Lucy. Just make sure you come off them gradually, a lot of medications can have nasty withdrawals so take your time with it.

Saying prayers for you right now and asking our wonderful Lord and the greatest healer of all to give you complete healing and recovery!
My mom's doctors left her on prednisone for over forty years and every time they tried to take her off of it she ended up in the hospital usually in intensive care. They claim they didn't know the long term affects of the drug when they put her on it and it was helping her asthma attacks and she could move better. Ended up destroying her body's own ability to make natural prednisone even after they tried to ween her off of it. Your drugs are for different symptoms and my best thoughts are with you and pray you can get weened off of them without causing you bad side affects. I think of drugs as putting poison in your body and you will be better trying to see how you feel without. After all those years on them you may not need they anymore as our body goes through changes as we age.
Dear Lucy, you are in my Prayers. Remember, God Is Good. Loves, Judy
Our prayers are with you. God only gives you what he knows you can handle have faith in his love and you will come out of this strong and drug free. hugs!
You have found a great place to ask for help, I think this site has more people on their knees than most churches! With a doctor that will help you drop the drugs instead of adding more, you are lucky.
That is a big undertaking but with courage and support from your doctor and all cuties, you will manage. we are here for you,
Hugs

Take Care and remember we are here for you.
When you feel weak quote this scripture from Philippians 4:13 " I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me" and you call on the name of Jesus and he will answer you. You are covered by the blood of Jesus and I pray healing for your body right now in the Name of Jesus. He will and I believe all Cuties will agree with me for you. Keep your faith up.God always hears a faithful prayer and answers. I am praying for you. Keep us posted. Roberta
Remember Angels are watching over you.....turn to God for support.
Lucy,
All the Cuties here are behind you and support you 100%! Prayers are going up for your courage, strength and fortitude. Take one day at a time and you will be free of these before you know it and whatever you had been taken them for is GONE!
Sending prayers your way. God will not leave you alone in this process, He is by your side at all times.
