That's politics for you. The drug company wants people to keep taking the drug (so they can make their money back on the development costs and start making a profit) so there isn't any definative data on when people can stop the treatment, but the government doesn't want to pay, so they delay starting the treatment....
I don't think your doctor will under-medicate you once your treatment starts, you will be given as much as you need for as long as you need it (he is on your side). The doctor controls your dosage, not the government. All the government can do is delay approval for the prescription, and then only by a week or so. Megan ------------------------ Yahoo!
