Hi MissTT,

As I mentioned previously, there have been many reports about this medication, and I don't expect there to be any changes. IMO, the formula change was not about product safety in the first place (it took abusers/addicts all of about 5 days to figure out how to circumvent it), but about patent extension/renewal. We'll see when the original patents lapse and generic versions should again become available.

If it's any help, here's a list of what's in the medication. This may help you in finding exactly which ingredients are making you sick, and hopefully finding another medication that will address your pain without such bad side effects.

Best wishes,

Doc
