Reading the above has been not only enlightening but verifies what I’ve thought for years since moving back to Florida. I have had to take multiple meds in an effort to control Lyme disease and in particular- Walgreens here in Florida has to be one of worst drugstores with mediocre customer prescription experiences we’ve encountered. We lived in NY north of Manhattan for 40
Yrs and never had to endure questionable generic or substituted brand meds, delayed stock or lack of promptness in filling. It’s a “crapshoot” …pardon the word…in guessing if the generic is going to be a safe substitute for the brand name. Is this Big Pharma or poor internal management?
Besides that I will mention that Bupropion in generic form was a terrible waste of time and experience. I’m the one who is trying to get well and am at the mercy of poorly educated and distributed meds. It did not work and in its generic form caused more side effects.
There are no more privatized pharmacies which is very sad unlike NY, and no we are not going back because the state is in terrible shape and costs a bloody fortune.
I miss the old Florida even Miami but we are all at the mercy of current government status.
My apologies for multiple comments.
