I'm thinking about stopping mine too. I have been on it for about 4 months?
There seems to be some controversy as to wether it is effective long term or only for a few months. I know the package says for 4 to 6 weeks, and it can be continued for another 4 to 6 weeks...so that makes 12 weeks max. Did you ask your doctor what his opinion on this is?
Some people on the board seem to be able to take long term without it losing it's effect...and I heard from a medical doctor that the 4-6 weeks was all it was tested for so it could be used as a daily med with no time constraints.
I don't know what to tell you. I have same questions as you, I'm afraid.
