Our daughter is on it as well. The only possible problem with the glucophage
is gastrointestinal upset. We're starting at a low dose and working up to
maintenance strength so as to minimize the effects. If this keeps up, we'll
have to take out a second mortgage to pay for all these meds. Thank God for
our 20+ years in the military. We have realistic co-pays.....although it's
$22 a month for my Detrol. I think that's a little pricey. I cannot possibly
imagine those who must pay hundreds per script!

Don't knock it, DeeTee - our co-pay is $60/month for brand names, only $10
for generics. My docs go generic when possible, but sometimes there's just
no option. As much as I want to support local business, I've had to go to
getting most of my meds via mail order which gives me a 3 month supply for a
2 month co-pay. it means an almost$700/year difference for us.
