Thanks mrsD. You are right on about the meds. I have tried both brands and I think the one being so soft and the other being a hard type pill is correct. I guess that certainly would make a difference. I have had a monitor test and in the past an EKG but it has been quite some time ago. I'll bring this up my next doctor's visit. I think it certainly rates another test. My husband lost a 16 year old niece because she had undiagnosed problems. So she died with long QT at age 16. Nothing else contributed to this, not even girlish strict dieting.

Good advice from you keeps me from taking the 80mg my doctor prescribes verses the 20 mg my pain doctor keeps telling me is the amount I should stay at. Unfortunately it just is not taking care of my pain. But I follow instructions from people whose opinions I respect quite well. I'm not happy with my quality of life but I don't want to lose it either.
