Ongoing symptoms: Choosing to take or not take a medication is up to you. However, your doctor prescribes in order to assist you -- and if you don't take the medicine prescribed, you will likely still have the problems the doctor was trying to help you with. Best to discuss your intentions openly with your doctor, including any reservations you may have about accepting his/her advice.
