Thanks Tucson. Sometimes, I wonder how I do as a wife and mother. There are times when I think my daughter definitely got the short end of the stick when it comes to mothering.
My pdoc is extremely cautious about any med changes. I don't think he'd ever suggest going off a med for a weekend on purpose. Often, if he changes a med, I either have to have a telephone appointment or come in within 1-2 weeks. He definitely is not one to change more than 1 med at a time; he says he wants to be sure he knows which med is affecting me how. My retiring pdoc did this too (she is the best pdoc I ever had) except she required every follow up appointment in person.
