My prescription medication was a bit expensive, so when I went to see my doctor I asked, as my prescription provider recommended, that I be given a generic version of the drug I was taking. Unfortunately there is none, partly because it’s a combo and not past its patent expiration date, I guess. So he dutifully put me on the half of the drug that mattered, and in a slightly higher dose to make up for the missing half.
In a month, I’ve gained four pounds.
So what do I do, go back on the original drug and be four pounds lighter and broke, or try another change by adding a second drug to my medicine cabinet?
