Too bad we have to pay with our health because the drug companies are trying to rule things.
I hope you get your proper medication soon and things settle down.
That happened to my Mom once. She got shingles and the pharmacist substituted generic for the other medication and it got worse. The shingles spread up her neck, face, ear, chest and shoulder blade before the Dr. made them give her the right medication. She suffered for a long time and never really got rid of the residual skin irritation, which was aggravated by heat or stress.
About four year ago, I got a very mild case of it on my back and because of what had happened to Mom, I got it diagnosed, the proper medication, which I made sure of and it went away within weeks.
I think if a pharmacist is going to substitute the patient should be advised and given the choice. In Mom's case, if we'd know, the family could have gotten together and made sure she had what she needed, even if it wasn't covered by her medical plan, but in fact it was covered and so that made me even madder.
Have a nice rest, Barbara and feel better soon.
