  1. I will interject here that you likely would want to wait at least 2 weeks after starting the D3 Regimen before tapering off any. Having your D checked also would provide vital information and you are probably in the best position to try for that, being a doctor. If it is above 80ng/ml or a good nmol/L reading, then you can taper down. The values for each are different as I am sure that you know. But just compare the two to determine your levels. On the Verap, I removed one pill per week from the time when I least expected a hit. Meaning, I removed the morning one first as I was nocturnal. The nightly dose went last. If you are nocturnal, then I strongly suggest a cup of coffee or an energy drink late in the day. It has helped me a LOT with the standard 8pm hit as it does prevent it coming. ATB!!!

  2. Buy a pill splitter....$5... go slow document your diminishing meds so you know for next cycle. Verapamil you don't wanna just stop. Cut your 3 daily pills in half. Lose .5 one day and make a judgment from there. Listen to your body and mind.

  3. I have found the sleep schedule to be very important in managing my CH as well, like you said sometimes it is not always possible to hit the sack by 9 so other prevents like the D3 regimen are supper important. I have never tapered off the verapamil even though in reality I don't believe it has ever stopped a cycle for me, but has cut back the amount of attacks when in a cycle. I would think you would want to check your D levels prior to trying to taper off the verapamil. If you did not do a loading dose for the past week you may not have reached the level needed to keep the CH under control if you were deficient to begin with. I'm not sure about the tapering down but I was on propanol prior to the verapamil and had to taper off of the propanol for about 2 weeks prior to starting the verapamil.

  4. Seriously! Took the Zen rt out of the place... But we figured the only way it could have gotten in was through the sliding barn door because there are/were gaps under it and on the sides. We sealed it up and I'll be back to playing around in there today. Snakes gotta live somewhere 2 but I would prefer them not to shack up in my greenhouse... I upped my levels of the supplements listed by Batch last night before bed and downed some battery acid snot and this morning the shadows are almost gone so that somewhat tells me that my levels were 2 low and that I need to stick to the every 2-weeks of dosing while being so close to my normal cycle.. I think that because I have had shadows pretty much daily when out of cycle in the past that I have allowed myself to dismiss the warning of them unless they are really intense... So I learned something new... Anyhow I didn't mean to hijack this thread it just sorta morphed from a question to me whining

  5. Yeah, I gave up after seeing the costs and it's a complete joke that you have a device that counts how many times it works then it shuts off so you have to pay again. It's not like it wears out, they just bleed people dry...
