I need to have a couple of pills tested, to see if they contain what they are supposed to.
Long story short, my wife and I recently moved from Florida to Il. I have been on propafenone for Afib for the last 7 years, or so. My wife takes Ambien to help her sleep. Recently, my Afib became uncontrolled, basically overnight. My cardiologist switched me to flecainide, and that seems to be working.
I didn't think much of this, until this morning, when my wife said something interesting about her ambien. She said that she had not been sleeping well for the past week, but slept really well last night. The biggest change was taking an ambien pill left over from our pharmacy in Florida, vs the one's from the Walgreen's up here.
So, now we have two meds that suddenly quit working right, from the same pharmacy. We both use generics (have for years), so I'm thinking maybe either a weaker generic, my imagination, a coincidence, or worst case, outright bogus drugs (wouldn't think that from Walgreens, but who knows)
Anyway, if I could get these tested relatively inexpensively, I might pursue this.
Thanks,
Toby
