Generic Didrex

Ever since the generic Didrex (Benzphetamine) has been out, my insurance company won't cover the actual Didrex, but only the generic. I dont know who manufactures them, but they dont work, and if you dont get to swallow with enough water or liquid, they taste like crap. Main thing is they are just what they say; "generic". Only the actual Didrex pills work in aiding weight loss and appetite control, and both requires a doctor's prescription.

Have you tried asking your doctor to write your prescription as 'brand medically necessary', or whatever the equivalent is in your state?

Then, your insurance has to cover it and the pharmacy is not allowed to give you a generic.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, insomnia, nervousness, and anorexia.

Does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions that might help?

If this is of any help to you, they are still manufactured in Boca Raton, Fla. My CVS pharmacist gave me this info.
