Annette, I know you sound worried about going off the Tap. All I know for sure is that everybody is different with how we react to GD and meds!! I can tell you that when I developed a sore throat and fever while on Tap for 10 months (and hypo from the Tap) Endo took me off and I had hyper symptoms within 2 weeks. But that is me and not indicative of what will happen you YOU at all. Good luck!!
