Going off Meds

So I had my yearly Echo and no events this year. In short, last year in March and April I experienced fainting episode while running and sustained vtach. I got an Icd and also on Sotalol 40 mg 2x per day. I continue to run and workout, not doing heavy mileage nor high intensity. I feel great. Docs say I can now come off the meds! I am interested in anyone else on here who has successfully come off meds, but are runners and athletes who still workout and have an ICD. Hope to hear from you! I have not yet come off the meds...

Thanks, I have idiopathic vt. I just don't want to get shocked by my ICD. So hope others in similar situations continue to chime in. I. Was weaned from my orig dose of 80 mg 6 months ago. Now I am on 40 mg since October and the next step is to go completely off.
