I have been on that one before, not nearly as long as you have, but I never suffered withdrawal symptoms from not taking it. My anti-depressant was another story though.
Hi Kathy,
PLEASE do NOT stop your medication at all if you can help it.
If your Doc will not call it in for you (and I don't see why not), inform him that you are without the right amount.
Does he know you are out of it?
You wouldn't be in serious danger (if it was just a very small amount of time), but I wouldn't recommend being without it either. Contact him as soon as possible and see if something can be done.
Best,
Clyde
