Prescription drugs, the good, the bad, the ugly?

No more strange than people divulging their financial lives online.

Isn't that the purpose of this site? To divulge financial information. The url is savingadvice.com

Have you ever experimented to see what dose works for you? Could you get 100mg tablets and break them in half, giving you 18 doses of 50mg? I've found that most patients don't need the 100mg dose to be effective.

Wow, I have never thought of that. Thank you for this idea. I can tell I have a migraine coming on right now and just tried half a pill. *Fingers crossed*

Am I the only one that thinks this is a very odd thread to start? Even stranger that people actually are telling others what medications they are on.

Haha, you’re not the only one! I thought it was strange and I’m one of the ones replying. But I don’t mind being open about this - I’m pretty open about it in real life too. I find it interesting to hear about different meds and what people pay for them. Just another reference point - one you’ll likely never need but might use at some point. I’ve had similar in real life conversations that actually turned out to be beneficial.

Also, DisneySteve gave me a great suggestion which I never would have gotten if I hadn’t shared.
