I think that you need to re-evaluate your meds regularly. For example, around 1960 I was diagnosed with a thyroid deficiency. So I took thyroid regularly for about 10 years. Eventually, I decided to see what would happen if I got off the thyroid. So I reduced and eventually ended the dosage. I was just fine, and that was a long time ago.

Since then, I have had a doctor tell me that it is impossible for me to have "healed" so as not to need thyroid. The original diagnosis was wrong. Well, I know what the test results were, and the symptoms (sleeping 12-15 hours/day, among other things), so I believe that the impossible happened.

Of course, if the result of getting off the meds could have been death, I would probably not have tried it.
