the time is 4am
i sleepily lean over and grab the new container of medicine.
' just to day i have been to the new  pharmacy
to get my prescription  filled.

 actually not a new pharmacy -
just a new branch of the old one.
bother, i grumble to myslef
as i try to  open the bottle.
 i forgot to remind them
not to put on a safety cap.
i finally extract a pill
 something i  wrong - i put on. my  glasses
and try and focus.
 no i'm not crazy,
this pill is grey! not pink!
i have to take off my glasses again
 to focus on the print on the label -
this is not sinemet cr  -
this is carb/levodop er 25/100 -  mylan
then at the bottom of the label
in very tiny letters, it says -
generic for sinemet cr

question 1
'is the pharmacist   allowed to substitute a generic without  telling you ?

question 2
is the generic exactly the same?
will it be absorbed by my body at the same rate and in the same way?
