Your doctor can request brand specific medication with justification, I have

done this. I do not encourage over the conter medications but I would ask your

pharmacist if you can take another medication to assist or your doctor. I take

an anti depressant that helps pain and a sleeping pill, Resteriol and it helps

intervene in a pain cycle.

You should be able to get your medications five to seven days before your

medications run out rather than running out on the weekends. Fridays are the

worst days for doctors clinics You should do a pain diary and find a multi

modal program that covers your pain syndrome. Godd Luck Bennie
