Ron......
No reason to apologize. I meant it tongue in cheek anyway. I take great pleasure in being able to put a positive twist on the concept of being a loser! And I feel that I'm in good company with the rest of the losers here in the forum.

What Nat said! "WOW, that is quite the list of meds," and I can certainly understand your desire to get off of them. I wanted to lose weight mainly for my health. I want to enjoy the next 40 years...not dread them. I'm taking a BP med and I'd love to get off of it. Has been a goal of mine for a long time. So far, no dice. My BP has only improved marginally. I suspect it has something to do with my stress levels which I'm working to reduce.

Fortunately, my doc is open to me trying a "drug holiday". Did one a few months ago and I'm going to ask to try it again. Go off of the BP med for a month and see what happens.

Some meds must be weaned and some don't require it. Your doc or pharmasist will be your best reference.
