Thank you for writing. I am happy to hear that you are doing well. I am also tapering off of a medicine...
Not easy! Painful cramping.

There are side effects to withdrawal and some of us may need to be monitored. My biggest helper has been my gastroenterologist! She has given me information about the cramping I might have and not to confuse it with IBS... although it is irritable!

Others, including your former doctor, would benefit from knowing your success story.
Perhaps the doctor would not be so quick to prescribe Meds that cause dependence?

Thank you again for writing.
