Wait, were you checking your BP the exact same time of day and everything? I mean, it's good it worked for you, but generics can have slightly different fillers that change how your body absorbs the drug for some people. I had a friend where the generic thyroid med messed with her levels, so she had to go back to the name brand. idk, maybe it's just about finding what works for your body specifically, even if the ingredient is the same.

$210 in July for one month? That's wild.

My 12 years in the trade says the opposite, sometimes you gotta lean into the tool to get through the tough stuff. That old timer’s advice sounds nice, but it doesn't work on every job.
