Listen, you obviously took me WAY WRONG (as you say I took YOU wrong)...I am one of the most sensitive people around, and "I" don't like being told otherwise...if you have read some of my other posts, you would see that I am VERY sensitive and get along VERY well with others that post here...Actually quite a few (4 to be exact) posters have been emailing me...and I have only been posting for about alittle over 2 weeks (I monitored the board for about a month before posting).
I certainly know what it is like to have panic attacks...and you know what? I wouldn't want to walk in your shoes..as I am sure you wouldn't want to walk in mine..BUT, I do empathize with you, and am TERRIBLY sorry if I gave you the impression that I was anything other than empathetic!!!!
On that...I TOTALLY end this. I hope you are feeling better and good luck with the Xanax.

> I thought what we had going on was simply a difference of opinion. A healthy exchange of ideas. I certainly did not intend to make you feel like I was picking a fight. The facts are the facts and I am just relaying what I went through so others may avoid the same problem, you know to try and be helpfull. I never doubted what you said about what was happening in New Jersey, I was simply letting you know what was happening in Michigan. I don't have the same flexability with our pharmacies here that you do there. Maybe some other's across the country would be in the same position I am in. As far as belittling my complaints over making a "big deal over generic xanax"....I feel that is quite insensitive. The drugs I received were completely ineffective. I don't think that is a laughing matter or something trivial. When people depend on medication to function normally and are give an inferior alternative it can be a life changing experince, certainly someone like yourself with panic should understand that. I am not trying to convert you away from Mylan like my last post said if it works go for it. But I certainly don't appreciate the tone of triviality or impuning my integrity over this topic. You have not had to walk in my shoes this past week. I would hope that others who suffer from the same afflictions would have compassion for one another instead of being judgemental and intolerant of ideas that might be different from what makes them secure. The importance of this board is that those of us who suffer from mental illness can exchange ideas about medication whether generic or not and hopefully not be attacked for stating our opinions. If you felt like you were being attacked I would like to apologize I don't have the power or the writing skills to put into words what this week was like for me after 3 great years of progress. I have had others on this board disagree and agree with me on many issues but at no point at any time have I ever been treated like I was a liar or making a big deal out of nothing. Many people depend on this board for support so maybe prior to posting that should come to mind....to be supportive....not trivializing someone elses problems or insinuating that they are misinforming others. That simly is not the case here. I will post the results from Mylan labs good bad or indiffererent for others on this board who have had the same experience.
