> I give great credit to people who come to this board asking questions about their medications, their conditions, their side effects, their successes! I also give great credit to those who are most patient with my questions which may have been asked a dozen or so pages ago. Thanks for the gentle reminder about using some of the search functions available. :anneL
hello there, chemist here...i reiterate that my intent was/is not to ding the unwary - i only frequent this site, and only since last march, and with numerous vacations - as we have all been there and done that. support comes in many flavors, yet it is amazing that on a meds board such as this there will be 5 or more repeat threads asking for information that is likely available from Dr. Hsiung's links on the index page. the community atmosphere and constant learning is wonderful; one year of ``is klonopin stronger than ativan (nm)?'' is not so wonderful, in my opinion.*** a special bonus: many of the answers to all questions are contained in free, downloadable PDF prescribing information text, available at places with URLs such as www.wyeth.com or www.pfizer.com. the physician's desk reference is the telephone-book sized tome found in every M.D./D.O. office and is a formatted collection of these very data supplied by the manufacturer. thompson does the publishing, and if a non-medical-doctor strolls into the nearest bookstore (the doctors receive free copies), about $80US will be sufficient. nice photos of pills, some info concerning pregnancy categories, and very little else are included. one could even ask their doc if last year's model (new editions are shipped in late november) is available for free. it is not the answer to all questions - it is not a pharmacy/pharmacology/psychopharmacology text - but it does most of the job....and it is not a scheduled item.....all the best, chemist
