stickmaker | Medication Mess

Okay, for my nasty insect sting the Nurse Practitioner I saw this morning wanted me to take Benadryl, but twice the usual 25mg dose. I already had some of that, but she wrote a prescription for the 50mg version. However, the pharmacy I use didn't have any of that, so they gave me twice as much of the 25mg. However, since that's non-prescription strength, my health insurance wouldn't cover it. So I wound up paying full price for something I already had plenty of at home, just in a prescription bottle. :-(
