Does this agree with your experience?

I was first prescribed 1 mg Cesamet/2 X daily in August of 2011. I was told by my pharmacist--and later verified by doctor after I brought it up--that it went off the market sometime in 2012 (I can't recall the exact date, but I do remember needing a Marinol 'fridge in my hotel room for my wedding in April 2012). That pharmacist proved to be an immoral jerk, but my doctor is a good "outside of the office" friend who wouldn't have lied to me. (He would also be
very blunt if he thought I was abusing a medication.)
It appears, however, that the Internet says it's still available... I wonder what's up? My insurance website says that it costs $50 for my previous prescription, so I'll ask my doctor if something's changed! If it has, I have an immeasurable amount of gratitude towards you.
