Good Day-This is a pill that you do not abruptly discontinue without proper assessment including a physical exam, labs and then a decision is made on whether dose adjustment is needed. If a dose adjustment is needed it will usually be made slowly unless a rapid change is called for under unusual circumstances. A slower absorption can be induced if you eat immediately after you take the pill (hint).
Good luck to you!Kathy Shattler, MS,RDN
