Comment:
I usually get a generic 10 mg by Torrent mnfr. The pharm didn't have but one generic this time by Mylam.. Every night since I wake up at 100am. I thought it might be 5 mg but it is 10. So I will have 3 months of bad sleep before I can be reunited with my one and only Torrent..... Oh well. Could always be worse.
