raf, I argued this to deaf ears before on this board before. I keep getting people trying to tell me the average person is on V for 6 months. No way! Just do a poll of the people here and you will find most people are on V for years, but if you personally just went to the doctor and received a new 12 month script yesterday, it counts you as a new RX and you would count as being on V for one day. Doesn't matter if you have been on it 5 years.
