We live in a time that there is a medication for every health problem. Medications are important and extend the lives of many people. When you have a heart attack or have suffered a severe life threatening trauma, thankfully there are medications that will keep you alive and give you another chance at life. Millions take medications for illnesses like pain, asthma or depression, they help us get through life. Never, ever just stop your medication without first consulting with your physician.

Avoid Uncomfortable or Dangerous Side Effects

Too often I have had clients who stopped their medication when they began lifestyle changes like diet and exercise. This is a dangerous decision to make! They thought their improved lifestyle changes would make the medication unnecessary. If you suddenly stop certain medications your body may react with headaches, vomiting and other uncomfortable feelings or emotions. Be especially careful with medications for depression, anxiety, or ADHD.

Start Balancing While Taking Meds

There is a safer way stop taking your medications than cold turkey. First always work with your healthcare practitioner and keep them informed of any lifestyle or medication changes you would like to make. Then while you are still taking your medications, start following my 5 Steps to Balance Your Body and Activate Your Lymph Flow. Always take medications and supplements a few hours apart, (at least two hours). Start making lifestyle choices that balance your internal body and help improve circulation. Then as your health starts to improve work with your health care practitioner to lower your medications until you slowly wean off of them.
