8. You are singing the song of my people!

For the past 18 months, I was going through cycles where my medication worked and then it didn't. My lows seemed to line up with where I filled my prescription. I was using two different pharmacies in different parts of the same state. I was being given two different generics for the same name brand medication. One formulation worked, one didn't! I spoke with the pharmacy where their formulation wasn't working and they are now ordering the one that works for me!

Just wanted to bring to your attention that not all generics are the same and can change their effectiveness!

When my meds are not working, I spend days sitting and crying.

Thanks for opening yourself up to us.

Peace,

Scruffy
