Diane, if you're still around, then I hope you're OK.

15 years is a long time to be on ADs. You will need to taper very slowly so as not to shock your system and make yourself ill. Make cuts of 5-10% or less (of the previous, not the original dose), and wait until you are feeling OK again before making the next cut.

And yes, diet and supplements are critical for success too, both in getting off the drug and staying off. I belong to an internet list where people go to discontinue ADs and the protocol there is to eat the Paleolithic diet, and to take a range of good supplements which should go a long way toward remedying any nutritional deficiencies. These include a high-quality multivitamin, colloidal minerals, fish oil, and magnesium and calcium.

Let me know if I can be of further help. It's possible to succeed but you have to be firm and determined with the nutrition and the slow taper.

Regards,
Linda.
