It scares me to try something like that, because if you got used to the drug and then the supply got cut off - it seems like that would be a VERY bad thing. It seems like a precarious situation. I sometimes hate how conservative the FDA is, but I guess if I sustained permanent bodily damage due to an approved drug, I wouldn't be happy with them either.
