I very much appreciate your feedback. I can at least sleep tonite

You're right, I picked these up from the pharmacy today with no warning or discussion whatsoever regarding the different brand and it being matrix instead of the gel that I've been used to for 3 yrs.
I don't think my Dr has a clue that this pharmacy switched manufacterers, so I'll probably have to call the pharmacy first to see 'why' they switched me.

I guess it's a 'wait and see' thing.
When you say that the 2 are not interchangable, do you mean that it's possible my body could have a reaction?

Thanks for your help!
