What medications interfere with or need adjustment during the diet?
Virtually all medications interfere. The most incompatible medications are: • Diuretics (water pills) • Psychotropic drugs, including prozac, zoloft, lithium, etc. • Hormones and steroids, including estrogen (premarin), birth control pills and prednisone. • Arthritic drugs, especially NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) • Cholesterol lowering drugs. • All anti-diabetic medications, including insulin with the exception of glucophage. • Tranquilizers • Seizure medications. Fortunately, doctors who work with the diet can usually use it and certain supplements to help you get off each and every one of the above or taper you to minimal doses. Please DO NOT COME OFF MEDICATIONS BY YOURSELF without medical supervision.
