My first doctor at Mulberry VA said, why are you still taking Plavix 5 years after getting a stent, he said after 18 months you can stop. Three weeks later I had chest pains, after a quick trip to the VA Hospital in Gainesville we learned there are two kinds of stents, chemical and metal. He was correct for metal stents, however mine was a chemical stent which requires Plavix for life.
I have learned a long time ago to be my own advocate. If I don't watch out for myself no one will.
