If the doctor who knows you best is advising against stopping the meds, that is your best bet. You EF going from 10% to 45% is good evidence the medications are working. Perhaps you can see a nutritionist to get on a weight loss regimen that will help you lose the extra pounds you gained from the meds. Good luck to you!
