Thanks for checking on this .

Must be something going on in the rumor mill... would be good to be able to find out the facts. Once we get this counter attack out of the way, maybe I can go digging...The Avenging Angel

Question here - she says there is a new law allowing pharmacists to

prescribe the liquid version of the SSRIs (if available) on patient's

request, but she didn't know Zoloft came in the liquid form??? You'd

think the letter of authorization would have included which of the

drugs came in the liquid form...

Could you please pay another visit and ask the pharmacist for the

letter they received giving them authorization to switch formulas?

Would love to have that for our SSRI Crusaders files. You know what

this tells me? That there are an awful lot of people wanting to get

off the drugs, and they are becoming sufficiently informed enough to

know that a slow taper is best...

Dawn,

I went back to the pharmacy and the regular pharmacist was back. I

asked about the above issue and this pharmacist said no, that is not

true. I would still need to get authorization from my doctor to

switch from pill form to liquid. So I don't know where this interim

pharmacist got her info, but I also looked around some pharmacist-

related legislation websites and I couldn't find anything about it

either.
