Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 Dear toosweet, Terry is right about the meds, usually the colors change if the dose has changed. And on the brand name drugs, they sometimes do have the name of the drug written on the other side. But also this is what I have experienced. Maybe there is a drug/pharmacist in our group that can shed some light ? I have learned that there are lots of companies that make the generics and they can come in different colors and shapes EVERY month. My dad has to take 31 cardiac meds every day. Needless to say, I get him the generics, otherwize he would be in the poor house. The generics alone cost him mega bucks every month let alone try the brand names ! Every month I ask the pharmacist, why is the pill not orange anymore. He tells me that the pharmacies will by the cheapist generics from different companies, it all depends on what company has the best offer for the month in volume. It also happens with my son's asthma meds. So if you are really concerned, ask the pharmacist to double check the pills. There is a generic pill book that you can buy, but the drug companies come up with the new generics meds so often that the books are not current. I know that depending on the med and how important it is, I try not to get the generic. I would rather pay for the brand name for my son's asthma med than to mess around with possibly not having theraputic levels in his system. But the MAJORITY of the time, almost all generic drugs are very effective. I know that I always double check with the pharmacist and we are on a first name basis now and he sometimes will call me and tell me what has changed before I get to the pharmacy to pick up the meds. ( Thank God he is a keeper ! ). Just don't be afraid to ask. ( because mistakes do happen ). I take generics for almost all my meds. I am just picky about my son's asthma meds. Everyone has their quirks ! Lily Lily Re: (unknown) > Dear toosweet; > Generally when the pill changes, it's because the Dr. has changed the > dosage...

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Dear Rose, I worked on cheering you up yesterday, now it's YOUR turn, darn it!! Hey, now that I mention that, how come nobody wrote to ME after all that??? Haha. I'm feeling really sick today, the result of eating some chicken soup I think... thought it sounded pretty harmless at the time... Now I'm in E X T R E M E P A I N . . . Can't figure out if it was the soup, or the new enxymes I finally started today (I had plenty of the old ones left). I went from Pancrease to Viocase... and yes, I am taking Prilosec, as per the instructions of a few of you... Heidi, Kimber, perhaps Kaye, anybody else?? Haven't felt like this since the last time I went into the hospital. My chest is too tight to let me even vomit - that's a new one. I'm hoping I don't feel like this too much longer, or it's off to the ER I go. DAMN I don't want to go to the ER. Prayers please!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Terry, Wow, I hope that you are feeling better by now. I can't opine on the enzymes, I wouldn't think that they would make you ill like that. Was the chicken noodle soup from a can ? Canned soup has MAJOR salt in it, sometimes is not god for the body. Are your blood sugars under control... you know you have a tendency to be a little ornory ( sp ) about your blood sugars ! I tried Prilosec for a while, made me very dizzy and I actually passed out a few times from it. But the doc told me that it can cause abdominal pain as well, chest pain too. ( How ironic ! ). How long have you been on the Prilosec ? Maybe that could be part of the problem ? Just a thought. I hope that you are feling better, Lily Re: (unknown) > Dear Rose, > I worked on cheering you up yesterday, now it's YOUR turn, darn it!! > Hey, now that I mention that, how come nobody wrote to ME after all that???

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2001 Report Share Posted October 24, 2001 Dear , It's always so good to hear just a few brief words from you and from Jackie via you... It's important to keep our team captain's mood in good stead, and you do it like nobody else can, of course. I wonder if she'd loan you out for a few hours at a time every now and again... Hmmm... Hey, she IS a teen now, right??? Haha.. I'll just wager that she probably WOULD be willing to make some kind of arrangements... Let's see, what do I have here... (fishing in pockets...) Some REALLY cool pens - some dressy ones, and some that light up and do odd things... a watch collection... Hmmm... my two cats, but they get really p.o.'d if I try to stuff'em into the pockets, a pretty good collection of CD's, (but I'm probably a little too old for her - bsb and lil-kim are a bit too much " hype " and not enough " hip " for me... I'm a bit more macy gray, madonna, mel etheridge...) Hey! I'll give her my star tak for the weekend in exchange for two hours of mom's quality time -- anything I want -- from real mashed potatoes with brown gravy to a foot rub. (post shower, pure and clean with lots of foot powder or " state of mind - SANCTUARY " , (worker's choice, and I tip generously). Deal? YEAH! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! Mom, you have no say-so, we'll jest let you know how the vote comes out. Get back with me Jack-ay, we got bz-naze. GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! out jack-ay! GO! GO! GO! GO! Tkc GO! GO! GO! Ahem... yeah, ? Chat soon, kay? GO! GO! GO! GO! Terry in KC GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! GO! << Hey Rose, I am Jackie's mom...if you have read her story. I just wanted to tell you I hope you are better soon.
