I can tell you that it is safe but I can't tell you if you can discontinue them.  the one question I have though is do you really need to be on plavix?  That is an expensive medications.  Would aspirin be as good?  these are questions you will have to ask your doctor but I hate to see you wasting your money if you don't have an indication for plavix.

it is hard to say how best to treat the psvt because there are so many different types of psvt. it depends on what it is.
