hello and thanks for the reply! I've got venlafaxine (generic for Effexor) and alprazolam (generic for Xanax) and Trazedone. its not as bad as it reads. LOL the last 2 are as needed only and usually live out a lonely shelf life when at last they reach their "freshest by" date and I toss them for new once a year. the other I didn't ask about is metoprolol, which is for blood pressure but I didn't anticipate a problem with that one. I'm so very grateful for your time to write. the job Qatar is going to be great for me but worried that I might have to turn it down over this situation. almost midnight for me and I'll sure sleep better tonight than last night! again, many thanks!
