I have been taking same dose of meds for 4 years. They said size, shapes, or colors makes no difference, it is the same med. Took for month. Couldn't figure out what was wrong. They cut my does in half.
Dr. did not tell them to. Effected my other meds. They gave me some more of the right ones, and put the date on it. Now it looks like I am taking more than I am suppose to. What to Do?

The pharmacy is not ever allowed to change medicine, all they can do is substitute for either a generic or same dosage in a different form. No matter what the dosage it should always match the prescription your doc wrote. I would consult the pharmacist. This is illegal. If that doesnt help you may discuss it with your doc.

You need to get the doctor and the pharmacist on the same schedule. I have had them change me from the good ones to generic, my neurologist raised h--- about it and I got back on the good stuff. I get my meds through the VA, it does not cost me anything so I didn't want to make waves. My neurologist did though and she works for the VA, I was still having seizures with the generic.

I would confront the dr who did this. He should have told you, especially knowing you take other meds. That was kinda irresponsible of him/her to do.

Speak with your doctor right away.

let's imagine that by some catastrophe you were unable to renew your prescription.
would you survive?
