Instead trying to extend patent by slightly changing the formulations, should make them spend for public health program to cover health care expenditure and give them tax break.Also approve generics only if it is rated AB and reject the rest. Mandate all state funded and federally funded insurance to pay for genericsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10776815.post-73043615731383913172008-05-19T05:14:00.000-07:002008-05-19T05:14:00.000-07:00Please be sure to "give some love" to my new favor...Please be sure to "give some love" to my new favorite: Treximet. It has 85 mg of sumatriptan plus the added bonus of 500 mg of naproxen sodium. I'm hoping that this one dies a fast death. How shocking that it was not 50 mg or 100 mg of sumatriptan!<BR/><BR/>Love the blog, keep it up.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048248946146022780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10776815.post-7133438517278692712008-05-11T06:54:00.000-07:002008-05-11T06:54:00.000-07:00MJ, I'm not sure i would want to live in a count...MJ,<BR/><BR/> I'm not sure i would want to live in a country that would have me as its president.<BR/><BR/> Although I would be a vast improvement over what we have now.<BR/><BR/> And the White House as chick magnet thing has been proven to work before.<BR/><BR/> And I wouldn't have to win.

Yes, they're more expensive, but it could save you a lot of money in drugs. Psychiatrists know a lot more about psych drugs than most general doctors. (And I once walked out of my psychiatrist's office with over $300 worth of free drug samples.)<BR/><BR/>A general doctor's fine if you're getting a Prozac prescription for mild depression, but most don't know enough about psychiatric meds to competently handle any more than that. (There may be a few with a personal interest/focus in such diseases that keep themselves well-informed; yours is obviously not one of them.)<BR/><BR/>In case you needed any more confirmation your doctor's an idiot, SSRIs are not usually considered first-line treatment for bipolar. First-line treatment is usually lithium, which at an aggressive dose clocks in at $40/month at drugstore.com and $8/month at Walmart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203787034264250821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10776815.post-29396015469392277982008-05-08T12:29:00.000-07:002008-05-08T12:29:00.000-07:00That is just uber.That is just uber.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10776815.post-68867321852760478002008-05-08T08:52:00.000-07:002008-05-08T08:52:00.000-07:00I'm telling you, you should be featured in that ub...I'm telling you, you should be featured in that uber gay CVS commercial about being a miracle pharmacist and wrapping each customer in a rainbow.
