Thanks W2F and Sqrl. W2F, you're advice is worth MORE than 2 cents. I've kind of had those same thoughts in the back of my head regarding this friendship for a while.

The pharmacist said they seemed like aspirin (except they don't smell just like aspirin and aspirin isn't usually scored). We don't have a Winn-Dixie here, or I'd go see what their aspirin, vitamin C and zinc look like.

He showed me what their generic Celexa looks like and it looks just like brand.

He didn't seem alarmed either way, so he just offered to dispose of them for me.

This is a friendship I'm trying to just kind of let die down, like when a thread has served it's purpose and needs to be slowly buried by the newer, more meaningful threads above it. I've stopped sending daily emails about things like the kids or "hey, I found a really good deal on .... thought I'd let you know." I rarely call her. Only after my ex has done something to upset me have I ever called. She's always the one to dial the phone. She's on an expensive cell phone plan and I'd rather she decide when to call than to dial her up and get "sorry, can't talk right now, peak hours you know."

When I'd mentioned a few weeks ago that I was unable to document generic Celexa she just goes "well, that's what the pharmacy filled my prescription with. I'd hate to think I committed a felony for nothing."

If what I've read regarding when it got the generic go ahead is true (roughly Feb. of this year) and memory serves me correctly regarding when she had her meds filled last, it was before it went generic. She filled it and then wasn't taking them, even though she kept saying how much it helps her memory and concentration.

She's been a sounding board for me and has calmed me down in times of stress, but I think I'm starting to get more emotionally healthy and need someone involved that I don't have such a history with. I'm not sure how that would help. You would think someone knowing what I've gone through since I walked out on my own would be a good friend to have, but sometimes I wonder if maybe she's funneling info to my ex. I don't like to have that seed of suspicion planted in my head. When someone lies to me about something as important as medication and my mental health, it just makes me wonder what else has been lied about.

Thanks for being a sounding board everyone.
