Well they say to stay on any prescriptions you have so I's day your best off to go by what your Dr. said - if you need it you need it. Hope its going well for you Johnie. By the way it really helps to have someone good at the Pharmacy to keep you going if your having a tough run so if your pharmacy person isn't great - move pharmacy. The want to cheat goes away after awhile especially when you start seeing results so just keep the focus on the end goal
