Using one over the other is usually something a doctor decides according to their experience by discovering what works for certain patients and what doesn't. They may have instances where they find one causes less side effects than the other and etc. It is very hard to say. Common side effects to these can include: nausea, drowsiness, hallucinations and insomnia.

White round pill with a score on the front, above the score it has a B and underenth the score it has 19? what is it...? ## Hi Bob - I have not been able to find a pill matching the exact description which you provided. The closest thing which I have seen is a round white pill with a score mark in the middle. One side has BI on either half of the score mark, and the other side has 91 on either half. That is a Mirapex 1.5mg. Unfortunately this sounds pretty different from what you have described. My guess at this point is that it can either be an over-the-counter product, or a prescription drug from outside the united states. Can you post back any other details such as a manufacturer name, where this was found, or country of origin of the pill?
