Look, all these things are personal decisions. The phrase "doctor's orders" is a horrible misuse of the language. Doctor's suggest, patients decide. So, i'm with you on making whatever decision you would make. We just make our decisions in different ways. Nothing wrong with that.

As to the blockquote:
First, i'm curious as to where that study originated. The first paragraph doesn't sound like something a dispassionate clinician would write.

Secondly, the answer after the Q. is hardly damning. It says there isn't enough evidence to suggest the relapses are causatively linked to the drug or whether they are within the statistical intervals of relapses.

So, that wouldn't convince me of much, but of course, we've already shown we make these decisions differently.

Anyway, nice having this chat with you.
