Moderator Emeritus manymoretodays Posted May 2 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted May 2 (edited) Hi Sandra4619, I don't follow what you are asking Why about. The previous post in this topic? Or the topic? However, You might as well start a Introduction topic for yourself now. I see you've been here a little while. It's good to have a HomeBase of sorts. Go to Introductions Read the first 3 topics there. The third one has a link/quote for "How to do your signature" And then at the top of the forum, on the right you can just select start new topic, Put your user name there, pick a title for yourself and that topic, and then tell us a little about yourself, and how we might help. Do a signature. Okay, see you over there I hope. L,P, H, and G, mmt(manymoretodays) Edited May 2 by manymoretodays Started with psycho meds/psychiatric care circa 1988. In retrospect, and on contemplation, situational overwhelm. Rounding up to 30 years of medications(30 medication trials, poly-pharmacy maximum was 3 at one time). 5/28/2015-off Adderal salts 2.5mg. (I had been on that since hospital 10/2014) 12/2015---just holding, holding, holding, with trileptal/oxcarb at 75 mg. 1/2 tab at hs. My last psycho med ever! Tapered @ 10% every 4 weeks, sometimes 2 weeks to 2016 Dec 16, medication free!! Longer signature post here, with current supplements. Herb and alcohol free since 5/15/2016.
