I developed the forum to discuss private matters amongst patients. So, I do not read those posts. Someone, however, brought to my attention a string of posts regarding medications and getting off them.

I want to clarify, since, from these posts it semms unclear. I am not an MD. I am a Ph.D. I am not licensed to sprescribe Western mediation nor to take it away. This process may only be done in conjunction with your prescribing doctor. I will always give you my experience on how I have noticed certain medications will effect your IC, but, it is not within my scope of practice to have you take it or not take it.

Please know if you come to me on medication, and it is your desire to remove it, you must have your prescribing doctor on board to help you through this process.
