A year and a half????
I admire your tenacity. I personally could never put up with any amount of BS for that long, nevermind side effects. Patience is not my strong suit - Read I haven't a shred
I lasted about 6 months though, but in my case side effects kept increasing. So when pdoc wanted to add yet another med to combat side effects I officially called BS because that's where I draw the line. I will not take meds to fix med problems.
Funny thing is, if pdoc had listened to me and switched meds, I wouldn't have flushed mine that night, guess I should thank him
