She said she still had no appetite at all, was a little sick to the stomach, and had a little energy, but nothing like the get up and go feeling she got from other kind. She looked at med inside the last she i had was very fine white powder capsule was filled all the way up. She didn't taste it so don't know what it tastes like. Is 1 a time release and other not, which might explaining difference in strong energy feeling? An...

I'm cleaning out my medicine cabinet and came across this old RX (cream). It doesn't say what it is for.
