Thank you Lexxy and BlondeGirl for your replies. I didn't really think, from reading the PI, that this was a stimulating drug, and that is what I am seeing here and also on asdm. I will argue this with my docs this week. I think the drug company shrills sold them a line of shit and that my docs didn't even read the PDR on this drug. I know a drug company rep visited them because they have a huge supply of free samples stocked away. Very sad how medicine is being applied nowadays. Thanks again,Magpie
