Hi Island,
Glad you are doing so well on your meds.

As you can see from the responses here, everyone has different experiences with meds, different concerns, etc. This is why it can be a little dangerous to ask non-medical professionals their opinion about the meds that have been prescribed for you by your medical professional.
I would recommend that you stick with what your pdoc suggests you take and discuss your questions and concerns with him or her.

I'm glad you're feeling so much better!
Best,
Okie
