Thank you. I will speak to my brain-doc about Amerge. This is why I think a resource like this site is critical. Although my doc has certificates on the wall, he never mentioned half the meds listed on this site. Recently, my sone (1 yr old) required surgery to repair a narrowing of his aorta (coarctation). My wife and I, while scared s-less, researched the problem and potential methods of surgical repair. Lo and behold, when we interviewed three different surgeons, each recommended a very different method of surgery. We weren't just picking a surgeon, we were selecting a method of repair! We chose well and the kid is in perfect health. The lesson is, that we must all take an active role in our medical care and not be afraid to question, confront, or even chage our physicians. Thanks again. Perhaps I should pay half my doc's bill to him and half to you.
