Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

It has recently become known that you should not stop aspirin therapy once you have been taking it on a consistent basis. This can trigger blood clots. Aspirin is taken to prevent blood clots, but like many drugs, it creates a rebound effect when you stop taking it. This is even true for one aspirin a day therapy.

This is still not widely known, and should be a warning on the package.

She was taking high dosages of aspirin and it can cause mental/mood changes in large dosage. I at the time was having a lot of migraines to the point of taking too much after days of having a migraine so I can understand why Mittleider and she took so much aspirin. I finally got a good doctor that worked with me
