Hang in there meanwhile. I know how frustrating the fatigue is. (((((Echoes))))))) |
Thank you
Yes the generic is only $45 instead of $150. That is still a chunk of money and it should be a Walmart $4 Rx by now, but all those sneaky little maneuvers were done to prevent that. BUT - I can afford the $45 much easier, so I'm glad for that!
