25 year old male with lack of proper information

Hey all, first time poster here..so I've been diagnosed with classical CAH since I was a child (around 6-8 years), there was no issues with wasting salt. I was on medication (Pronisone and hydrocortisone) until I was approximately 16 y.o. Then my endocrinologist said it is over, I've overcame puberty and she took me off the meds. Since then I was living medication free however as I've entered into semi-adult phase of life, I've been searching up and looking into my CAH more often and with more curiosity. Would anyone know why she took me off the meds? Also any life advices and pro tips for living with CAH would be greatly appreciated e.g. what to look out for, what to be careful with etc..Feel free to ask any questions!
