I have been taking that BLT tincture for a long time (over a year) and I've decided it is time to stop.

When I started it, I was getting bad all-over-the head herx headaches, also had some vertigo, and had to increase very slowly, drop by drop.

Every time I've tried to stop it, I get bad migraines. They normally pop up when I haven't taken the tincture in about 48 hours (normally I take it twice a day, but it takes 48 hours for the headaches to set in). I can even stop my antibiotics without getting headaches, even Bart antibiotics, so something is strange here. I'm wondering if the initial headaches weren't even herx headaches? Who knows. Doesn't really matter now.

I am wondering if anyone has run into this problem when trying to go off an herbal tincture? And how did you solve the problem? I just feel like a year on it is long enough, and it's time to stop. I don't want to keep pouring the money into it, etc.

Here are the ingredients: Red Root, Teasel, Boneset, Black Walnut Hulls, Lomatium, Sarsaparilla, Stillengia Sylvatica.

It gets so bad, with the withdrawl headaches, that I give in and take it. I'm just not sure what to do. I will ask my doctor when I talk to him again, but I have been going things on my own lately. Thanks.

The body also gets used to what you put in it.
So stopping something may cause some withdrawal symptoms.

I had this after stopping abx's and after stopping cryptolepsis. It went away though.

Keep in mind herbs mess with the blood.(thin, thick, fast, slow, etc)
Once you stop I would imagine there could be headache withdrawal.

Red Root is a coagulant.
