So, there are other drugs that do indicate a drug holiday from time to time? It makes sense, given the variety of side effects that some drugs have and the inevitable strain on various parts of the body, but I don't believe I'd heard of a prescribed holiday before. Then again, I'm a little young and a little too healthy to be taking anything particularly hard core.
I am completely open and honest with my specialist. I told him up front that I was taking a break because I don't like the big pills. ;) 4 pills at night is right at my borderline, and my understanding of *why* I'm taking the Met is that it makes my body work a bit better (extraordinarily layman terms here) and reduces my chances of getting Type II diabetes later in life, which is also manageable by diet. So honestly they feel kinda optional. What's the word for people like me? Noncompliant? ;)
