Thanks Pat. However, I am in the "critical" time now where meds should be avoided at all possible. I still have 3 weeks to go until I am in the 2nd trimester and safely can take class b medications. I am going to see how I feel over the weekend then make a phone call on Monday based on how I feel. Thanks for your advice and hopefully on of the dr.'s will post too.At Fri, 28 Sep 2007, Pat Sonnenstuhl wrote: >
