Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is understandable that financial strain would affect your ability to buy medication.
It is always best to speak to your doctor first before stopping any medication.

You may want to speak to your doctor there may be a way that you may still be able to get the medication at a lower cost.

I hope this helps
