I believe you get what you pay for.
Now THAT's an eye-opener!! Goood point!
I'm gonna ask for the Brand name (Lortab) instead of the Hydrocodone I'm currently taking. I will do that on my next refill.

I hope I'm not thinking bassackward here.....Lortab is Brand, right?
Hydrocodone is the Generic......yes?

Very good point Cy, this could make a HUGE difference in the 'tolerance' issue, which drove me to want to try this Neurontin..... I feel i go thru them faster than I should. If I had NAMEbrand, that 20% could prove to be all the difference in the world!!
