Anybody ever have this problem

I have been taking 15 mg of methadone for several months.
Has worked excellent for controlling my pain.
Just got my pills refilled at the V.A.
The new prescription was made by a different manufacturer
The new pills were very small and round.
the old pills were oblong and about twice the size of the new ones.
Now the problem, the new pills do not work all in controlling my pain.
The new bottle says each pill has 5 mg of methadone.
However they have no effect at all on my pain.
Now i am worried, how in the hell am i ever going to convince
those people at the V.A. that they have a bad batch of pills?
Got a sneaky feeling that they went out for low bid on these pills,
now probably myself and a whole lot of other disabled vets will
have to suffer the consequences of the low bid.
Any other vets have this problem at the Durham n. c. v. a.?
