ha, ha! no, I hate anything dry! This stuff is so weird, I look all over the label, and it's just says it's made by Egyptian Magic, it's got a whole lot of crazyiness like...Lord Imhoptep Amon Ra - Pharoah of Egyptians...ha ha, these people might be nutz, but they make a good skin cream...

don't worry about your mood Ina, I'm a pretty good observer, at least I think, ha ha! And I see people on treatment, and their personality changes so much for the better once they are off the drugs... the longer it goes without the drugs, the better their mood....I see this over and over, it comes out in what they write...(IMHO) that's why I try not to take it to heart when I see people go off, etc (well, it's harder when they go off on me of course ha ha! but I try to be understanding)...I have no idea what it would be like to have those drugs alter your mood...but I do know depression...anyway, that's behind you, things are going to get better and better for you as time goes along, you deserve it and you'll have it...

Isn't it great about Goofman???

That would make sense if the mixed two different doses in the same blister pack. The 400 pill would then be the morning dose and the 600mg pill, the evening. Still, I'd double check with pharmacy to make sure what the actual dose ordered is. BTW curious why you don't take the 400 in morning and 600 in evening. You'd probably sleep better that way.

Yeah, we get those, they are 400 mg each, hey I think its easier take less pills, same miligrams.

I would call the pharmacy before cashing the rx and confirm the actual dosage in each pill, as doctors and NP's do screw up more than we'd like.

I say this because you're now taking 2 in morning and 3 in evening, so unless the RibaPak formulates each of the two pills differently, to me your new regimen indicates a dosage change. This may be intentional or unintentional but I would check it out now, even though I'm pretty sure it's OK.
