Perhaps I should also add, that there are those including myself who feel they now have permenant problems from taking the medication. I stopped taking the medication a year ago and I am still having problems. For those who have the muscle tightness during the withdrawal, I still have mine even though it was a year ago. Certain medications may be helpful but can also be dangerous. My case in point is Rezulin and others. Of course there were people who were helped by this drug, but researchers later found that it can cause liver damage/failure, and people died from the medication. This is why it was pulled from the market.
