My doctor had a lot of visits from the Avandia rep. The rep would buy lunch for all of the office staff. It didn't matter what I said about how badly I felt using Avandia. My doctor still wanted me to take it. Finally, I just weaned myself off of it. I told him that I would not under any circumstances take it again. Shortly after that, the first reports about Avandia and heart problems came out.
I have felt so much better since I am not taking Avandia. It's my body, and I will no longer take medication that I feel is bad for me.
