Woah - this is so weird. Apparently that version was d/c'ed in 2001????
why did I consistently get the ones that had the black ink if they were old? ugh. no wonder I had so many problems with Parnate the first time around. this is absurd.
I have two of the "old pills" in my current Rx. Should I demand that they be changed at the pharmacy?
