I would have tried for one pill once a day and keep taking a lesser amount of the designer until my body adjusted to the new med?

I had to quit using the drugstore, use my new, small pharmacy at the grocery store they just built; I love the pharmacist, he catches the doctor's idiot mistakes AND fixes them with the doctor both, so it doesn't inconvenience me very much (the doctor was moving office and my last visit with him resulted in all kinds of irregularities and I only caught one of the two major ones before I left :-) But my old drugstore routinely messed up well-written prescriptions, took too long, and made me find and solve their problems.
