Running into this all the time in my years in J-land. Doctor told me that I might be able to live long and prosper in "the west", but here, he is only allowed to prescribe me half of what I need or less. So he "tops it up" with other drugs and the evil mix produces little help but lots of side effects (of which the doc thinks, gamman is the correct therapy )
