Vyvanse -- vision problems (drug rep here in two hours to take report) Received info back from corporate both written and on the phone. Turns out glasses were broken.

Intuniv -- 1 mg way too drowsy (drug rep here next day to take report) same thing. Reminded not to cut in half. Patient playing X-box until 3 am, but still related to Intuniv.

Focalin -- causes lability. Saw it multiple times. Drug rep denies this happens and I am only physician with this problem. Goes on tantrum, yelling and screaming at me in office. Likely on her own med. Police called. Drug rep left. Has not returned.

I remember when we had aerochambers. Mainecare won't cover most. Those were literally life savers. We had multiple, multiple drugs which helped. Eye drops and ear drop companies likely lose money as one sample covers entire course.

I simply don't think it is accurate to state that drug reps and samples increase costs. Again, how do you want them to advertise? Are they not supposed to advertise?
