Yes, I understand in a perfect world that this is what I should do. I would love to. I'm really glad to hear that I can open the capsules. Is it harmful to me or just really difficult symptom wise to go cold turkey? As lack of insurance is what put me in this situation, I can't get other meds to assist and I only have a few capsules left. What's your recommendation?
