I have had the problems describe where generics or different generics don't work like the other choices. When this happens I work with my pdoc and pharmacy to get an exception from my insurance, Medicare, for the name brand, or sometimes with the pharmacy for a different generic. I have learned that CVS pharmacy has no control over the generic brands the get but Walgreens does. this has happened with the genric for Celexa, Citalopram, and the generic for Neurontin or Gabapentin. Something I have discovered that disturbs me is the fact that both of these generics were manufactured in India. And since this finding I have checked my pill bottles and found that more and more meds are coming from India. In itself this is not a problem but the fact that I have been taking the same meds for many years and have never had this problem until the manufacturer changed, it does disturb me. ;) Dee |
"What MD Junction means to me is a place where i can feel like im not alone. As someone with something as rare as hydrocephalus, it feels like im the only one in the world with it. When i came to MD, its like everyone has it. It doesnt feel like im alone. And that people need to hold up a sign to say what i have, because people know. And they understand. I can get questions answered from people who have been through it rather than from doctors or people who only can tell you from a physical standpoint. THat is what MD junction means to me."
