First of all, you shouldn't be asking through Yahoo! You should be asking the doctor who prescribed them to you, DUH! I don't mean to sound ugly, but you could do some real harm relying on someone else's opinion. Your doctor knows your body and uses that knowledge to prescribe you exactly the type of medicine that's right for your body - you've read the side effects and warnings.....ask your doc!

Take whatever comes after the green ones. You shouldn't stop taking them and you should always take them in the order and direction shown on the pack. You should take only one every day at the same time. If you forget, don't take 2 at once because that can make you quite sick. If you forget one, then you can take one the next morning and one that night to catch up although this can lead to a reduced result of the pill overall.
Good luck

Just keep taking the pills one a day until they are gone, and start a new pack the next day. Do not wait to take pills, or skip pills.

Yes, it's ok to start taking the green pills which are just reminder pills to help stay on schedule with the medication. I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.

The green ones are just placebos to help you remember to take them and to keep track of when to start the white ones again.
Edit: Meaning that you should take them the same time every day, just like you do with the white ones.
