well, my doc didn't want me to get off either. He told me to just stop. Of course you know that you should never do that so I weaned my self off. I was having (and still am) cough shortness of breath, tight chest and no sex drive and very tired. You didn't say what your dosage is. 2 years is a long time, so you should taper off slowly. I was only taking it for about 5 months. So I took a half a pill for 4 days and then 1/4 of a pill for a few days and then I stopped. You should really be under a docs care when tapering off. And you should take longer than i did. What is your dosage?
