Yes. Although safe for appropriate patients, it should be used for as short as possible, and a low dose. Especially bad for the elderly and immunocompromised patients. I've been on one for as long as you have with no side effects. But, that's not to say I should be. I currently have an ulcer and stricture and am 5 weeks post RNY, so I can't stop now!!!
