The young man who died recently with his med...

His situation was that he was stable on it. A rather high dose.
But...he went off, when he moved away from his doctor. He was med free for a few short weeks, and when the new doctor restarted him on the high dose without titrating him back up....that is when he had the cardiac arrest.

It is not only taking it that is risky. It is how the drug is managed by the doctors that make it risky.

Please keep that in mind.
