Oh wow, that is scary..so should I drop down to 6mg? Is that a safer amount?

Talk to your doctors..... this is not a medical advice website.  There are risks from taking ANY medications or herbs. Your doctor needs to know all of the meds and herbs you are taking so that they can make informed decisions. You can talk to a pharmacist also. They typically know more about drug/herb interactions and side effects than the doctors. You can also do a search of the different drugs you take and check their interactions.
You are ultimately responsible for your own health; not the doctor. My mother was put into a hospital by a careless doctor and four additional doctors who treated her tried to kill her. The only reason she did not die was I was her medical advocate and I knew enough and researched her medical issues to correct the doctor's actions. Many doctors do not like medical advocates who are knowledgeable; it gets in the way of their egos. I fortunately had 2 doctors in the family to help me keep my mother alive a little while longer. The original careless doctor's mistake (wrong medication that lead to a stroke that was caused by a blood clot) is what killed her. My comments above are not original. Any medical website will have a version of the warnings I list.
