> Thought it was interesting. How come I just signed on with an enviornmentally friendly company for my supplements named Melaleuca, for a mere $39 . I get all money back if I'm not satisfied in 90 days.
Most people can't be bothered requesting a refund...
>How many times have you paid enormous amts of money for a drug only to find out you can't take it.
Some drug companies do give samples to clinicians. I have been given quite a few samples from doctors. Both for general and mental health medications. My first week of prozac was a free sample.

Hmm. Was it worth it?
I had to choose between brand name imovane (at $10.00 per week) and subsidised zo-tab (at a subsidised $3.00 per month). I went with the latter. I had a bit of a nasty taste in my mouth in the mornings - but how much was it worth to me???
