Phylly,

I cut way back on my medications before my ADR surgery for the same reasons. In my case, I believe it was a mistake, because by the time I got to the surgery, I was like a raw nerve ending... I was a basket case and had a difficult time coping with the ordeal.

Everyone is different and I believe that in principal, it's good to be on less meds. If you find that you are unnecessarily torturing yourself... you might want to ease up a bit.

Good luck... I look forward to reading good news about your recovery. All the best,

Mark
