Moderator Emeritus mammaP Posted January 24, 2014 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted January 24, 2014 That is great PharmaNAMI, congratulations! Doctors told me I would be on them for life, and everyone else thought that too. Lots of us here were told that and we are proving them all wrong. Thank you for joining us, could you tell us your story, and post it in the success stories topic, we love to hear of the successful tapers. Most people get on with their new lives happy and healthy when they successfully get off meds. . Who can blame them for not hanging around ?
