THIS IS RIGHT...it looks like a square Domino with 5 dots. But this is really tiny.
The other side of course says 10 mg
Thanks ...I have to take more...I was biting off about 30% of the pill at 11:00 and then about 4:00 just taking a wee bit...only using about 50% of the 10 mg pill...NOW I need more...I sent this post to my daughter to call medco again...

Darned if I can tell what the imprint is - it looks like a square Domino with 5 dots. But this is really tiny.
The other side of course says 10 mg
Thanks

There are no rules saying that all generics must be the same color, just because it contains the same ingredient, the company can make them whatever color they wish and even change the color any time they wish.

If you post back with the imprint from the tablets, I will gladly double check to make sure it contains the proper ingredient for you.

Have you also tried asking your pharmacist?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I never could get a straight answer from Medco.
The new ones seem to work about as well as the others - For the last several weeks they haven't done for me what they used to. Hope they are the kind that requires more and more to have effect.

I also got the pale orange pills. They are not working nearly as good. I am waking up in the middle of the night. I called medco and they said there have been a number of compliants and they are looking in to this new supplier.
