Hey @Flaneuse.  Different age group so I'm unhelpful there but I definitely understand your hesitation.  It is unfortunate that being on these tablets does sort of put you in the perpetual patient (well for 5 to 10 years anyhow) outlook.  Life is for living right?  And gut instinct is not something to be ignored I believe.  If it feels right for you then it probably is.

Big hugs lovely lady.
