That's a good suggestion, to try stopping one remedy at a time!
Another thing I'd consider, if it was me, is to stop repeating both for
long enough to decide whether I am *overall* better or worse than
before I started the remedies. How long does the headache last, and
how debilitating is it? Is the headache more or less debilitating
(limiting) than the exhaustion and skin rash? (Does the exhaustion
return took, or only the headache?)
I was trying to think of anything comparable I've seen, and can't
quite, but one thing I have had happen (to myself) is being on a remedy
that acted very well but not quite convincingly, and for not nearly as
long a time as I expect of a *curative* remedy in that situation. Each
time I took the remedy I seemed to benefit--meaning simply that I felt
much better for some time period--but, besides having it "wear off"
too soon and not "feel" quite right, after several re-doses (my
treating homeopath was absolutely convinced the remedy was right; I now
run for the hills whenever someone tells me they are "certain" about a
remedy!!!!!!) I realized that each time, when the dose wore off, I was
a little bit *worse* than before taking the prior dose. At that point,
of course, I gave up on the remedy. (I don't see this as
"suppression", but rather as "palliation" that failed to stop the slide
I was already on.)
