Hi, I went through your query. I will suggest that you start tapering off now i.e. decrease the dose gradually and finally stop it. And since you have been taking the preparation continuously for 6 months you should have a checkup for any breast disease or any clotting problem as these artificial hormones increase the risk if only slightly.
Hope this helps. If you have any further query I will be happy to help.
