12/21/2009 My Dr. changed my hypertensive medication from Aceon to a generic Enalapril.The main pharmacist and an assistant names melanie or melody were working.Main male pharmacist rudely told me that he had ordered a lot of last drug i was taking and he could not get his money back now.I am hurting the store.This assistant made excuses for pharmacist by telling me that if they wait until the drug expires they can get some money back.Main pharmacist (elderly),walked back over to me demanding to know why i changed meds.I told him my doctor changed my meds & the new generic he ordered and recieved way after i was due for a refill was not working properly.my old drug was Aceon and new drug is Enalapril. I am suppose to take one pill daily.bottle contains 90 pills no reason why.I am getting terrible head aches and leg swelling for two days on drug.I want to get this medication analysed since pharmacist acted strange and rude.He may have given me a harmful medication that looks real.I only took half a pill today cause i never got headaches and swelling from blood pressure meds before.I want to go to a hospital but need a trusted source to anayise pills.Prescription is for Enalapril.He filled it with Enalapril Mealate if that makes a difference.I will try to contact my doctor.John O. Pittman but will most likely need to wait till after hollidays or go to a hospital for side effects of this medication that may not be real or harmful.I have taken many hypertension drugs and never before had any of these types of symptoms.I am worried and its the holliday so i cannot contact help.Please tell me what to do and who will analyse medication not just do a visual ID. Last generic Aceon that did not work had a stong sugar taste and i told my doctor before he changed my meds.Forgot that part.I have a few of those left also since they did not work.Might need those looked at to.Please help me feel safe at a pharmacy again.I dentify pharmacuticals and meds this mean pharmacist gave me in large quantities.

Chandra, I really want to know what the conclusion was. I am wondering if you have ever been diagnosed as a paraniod schizophrenic? Did you ever get the med analyzed. Where is Fred now? How are you feeling now? Please up date!

Sugar pill

The sugar pill did not make me sick just did not work.I would not have noticed but did not have water handy and actually tasted meds for a change.Sweet. no more small unmonitored pharmacies.Scared to try privater for now.The pill that caused severe pain and sensitivity to light/migraines instantly was the second medication and it was probably in a different form than original prescription cause when i looked up pill image i saw a different form but has a counterfeit warning for many common meds.Not the abused ones as expected.As Stacy & Robert/Dan there doing something cause their story changes and they are too quick to defend a small pharmacy in a discount store in a small town.I don't care what they do just keep on with the fake drugs or the generic genericsand the whatever,religious practices i just do not appreciate professionals putting public health at risk or trying to cause harm or just being to cheap.

Chandra,

as frequent reader of this site, I know Robert's not doing Stacey.  No one works for Freds either.  I don't as well.  But I do work in the health field.

You are having some very bad side effects of the medication that your doctor prescribed for you.  You could be correct as well that the pharmacist is also substituting a sugar pill for medications.  It has happened.  In addition, in the oncology/cancer setting, a drug called Procrit was tampered with and sold to unsuspecting doctor's offfices in Florida.  It was discovered after several months when patients started to have symptoms of a low hemoglobin.  Procrit is given to prevent low hemoglobins.

So Chandra, don't get all mad and defensive.  You can control 90% of what goes on in your life and 10% you can't.  Rise above it all.

if paranoia is a side effect of the new med?

Hey Robert when did you quit the bank? I hope the pharmacy is paying you better! hehe
I have to agree with Stacey and Robert that there are more issues here than what was written in the OP or any follow ups.

Fred's pharmacy on 4111 Martha Berry Hwy in Rome ga,30165.Also said i will go else where with new refills from my doctor who will also be told but won't care either.Formality.Systems put in place to appease a few wealthy people but if complaint is filed consumer is treeated like they are the guilty party.Not true America has allowed employees with lowered standards to work with peoples health and food handling way to long.Analsis of meds and legal representative are available due to employee thhreats and breaching privacy clause.Priveledged info.No longer needs Fred's pharmacy corporate to pretend to correct problem and allow a dis gruntled employee harm me by giving me unsanitary or old meds.

Thanks Robert - I also saw where the OP posted another report about this pharmacy

Good luck is right - analyzing any medication is gonna cost you and what is the need to see more doctors?? Can't you explain this to your PCP??? Sounds like you have a problem with the pharmacist period -

Oh well you can please some of the people some of the time and the rest is self explanatory

Well good luck with your mystery investigation...

I want to get this medication analysed since pharmacist acted strange and rude.He may have given me a harmful medication that looks real.

- Okay since we are putting words in your report what exactly did you mean by that statement.  As most "open minded" people would probably see that as you are accusing them of tampering with the medication. 

You obviously are in the medical field and cover for people often as a career

- This is usually code for, "I am going to ignore any one who I think disagrees with me, and as an attempt to discredit them I am going to accuse them of working for the company".  Which for your information I do not or never have worked for any company in any medical field.

I am following proper proceedure and will not enter an exlanation to you

- That is usually code for "I have no proof, and I am just going to ignore any legitimate questions."

I am begining to believe that there are some other issues that you have with either this pharmacy or people in the pharmacy.  Espcially since another report with a similar writing style showing up about this same exact pharmacy within a day or two of this one.   But since you won't enter any explanations to us, I won't enter any explanations to you about how they are similar.  I guess I will just have to leave that up to the "open minded" people to compare.

And I hope you do post the results of all of the tests you want performed.  However, it seems more likely that you are having a bad reaction to the medication.  Then instead of talking to the person you should be talking to..YOUR DOCTOR.  You not only instantly came up with some conspiracy theory how the pharmacist must be poisoning you on purpose.  But you posted a report for the entire world to see.  All because the doctor changed your prescription.

Also, I have never heard of a doctor who you could not at least get a message to.  They may not be in the office, but would call you back or have another doctor call you back.  If your doctor is that totally out of reach, perhaps you should look for another one.  Because it would be horrible if you were in some life threatening situation and they needed your medical history and couldn't get it because the doctor was unavailable.

Recieving solicitation calls from unknown person about Fred's Pharmacy. Never rercieved calls before report.Located a few others with medications not working after a change to a generic of the same brand.This is similar.Still need meds analysed just in case cause i am having strange pains and palpitations headaches not experienced before.The fault could be in the pharmacuetical company but how would i know that unless meds are checked and maybe me too.After all i am not the pharmacist with the mood swings.A man too.People do not have the proper standards to work with medication or health care period.I am checking with two doctors in the next week.Finding a lab too.

I am well aware of medicine side effects.Read insert from pharmacy.Also know that we have such a great need for pharmacist and medical professionals that the standards are lowered for qualifications.The fact that this pharmacist discussed private financial issues in front of several customers means he was in an altered state or had his personal money in my pills.Why?Most patients only want their meds not financial details with an attitude.Yes i think it is possible that the pharmacist gave me a drug or form of a drug that is causing me problems.I am not taking full dosage until i get to a lab or i am forced to go to a hospital with my pain and headaches.You need to wake up and realise that professional people are people too and commit crimes.Just most get away or pay someone off.I need medical advice from persons unavailable during the hollidays and two medications that my pharmacist is passionate about the cost of drugs analysed by a reputable lab.Maybe two just to be sure. I no longer trust this pharmacy because they cover up for each other,(Lawsuit Cost),all the time.Most business do on legal; advice.I do not care if you do not believe me because i am going to find out the truth.I have open minded people to help me.fair people

Are you stating you want the medicine analyzed because you think the pharmacists poisoned you?? I find that hard to believe - I suggest you read the literature that was given to you with the medication and see SIDE EFFECTS - As one who takes blood pressure medicine sometimes you need to try several meds before you find one to suit you - I did
