title: Three years ago I received a drug-coated stent and was put on aspirin and Plavix.  My cardiologist recently retired, and my new cardiologist told me to stop taking Plavix.  It scares me to death.  I read the story you released in February about the dangers of the first 90 days off Plavix extending out for a year and being unknown after 18 months.  Is there something I should do or take to prevent Plavix withdrawal problems?
