I told him the label specificaly says do not do that and he was like blah blah blah your fine! You can stop why do doctors do this?? Why cant they explain the entire thing that's what they get paid for!!!!! Ughhh anyone know about it and why its ok to stop taking suddenly

I can't answer the 'is it safe to stop' bit...but would like to agree with you and say how annoying this is.....we NEED explanations and reassurance......not just blah blah as you put it. I wish they would realise what a scarey condition this can be and how we need to know we are doing the right thing and trying to take care of ourselves and do the right thing!!!

Wow! You look way too young to have these challenges. I'm sorry to hear it...depression and morale is well understated; don't be afraid :)
