Theo, I wish I could remember the name. I was only 23 at the time. I remember being told it was an upper-downer. That was a long time ago.
Bangs, No, I'm not thinking of changing meds. I'm just trying to educate myself because of the bad experience I had in the past. Just picked my pharmacist's brain, and he said they now have some sort of pharmacist PA, who can Rx medications but then the chart has to be reviewed by a pdoc. He said they are constantly calling pdocs questioning doseages of meds and combos they have Rx'd. He said they don't have the foggiest. He said pharmacists go to school to learn abaout meds, and a doctor goes to learn anatomy,etc. He even agreed the pharmacitical companies give out huge incentives to use their drugs. He looked Lunesta up just for curiousity, and said it comes in l,2,3mg tablets. They're not enteric coated, and the cost of a lmg tab was $3.37. He was shocked. He agreed to stick with tried and true drugs like valium. He also said Roche doesn't have a generic of their own. Greenstone is the generic version of xanax that is manufactured by the manufacturers of xanax, so it's the real deal. Fondly, Phillipa
