I was thinking of a future profession and in my local paper there was
an article about pharmacists. I decided to look into it but I haven't
been able to figure out much. I live in Michigan so U of M is the
likely school of choice for me. I get all A's in school. Math and

How hard is it to get a pharmacist to dispense Actiq (fentanyl
lozenges) to a non-cancer patient?  I recently read a study in the
journal Headache that supported their use in intractable migraine as an
alternative to going to the emergency room, and I plan to discuss that

Member of our family has been told by MD that Neurontin might help for
some neurological problems (facial muscle erratic firings) that the person

Why are buspar indicated for short term use only?

I have been prescribed Alprazolam 1.0mg #30, 1 tablet by mouth every 8
hours as needed.  By my math, this is only 10 days worth of medication.
Granted, I do not take it every 8 hours, so it will last longer than

brand or manufacturer, I'd be most appreciative.

I'm a white man age 47 and currently taking 20 mgs of
Lipitor daily and 10 mgs of lisinopril.
The lisinopril is pretty cheap to buy.... but the
Lipitor is expensive.
