32 (ftm) 158 lbs. I've had escalating bladder and urethral pain for months. My doctors don't seem to be taking it seriously.

Not the kind of "spot the difference" I wanted to play.
The one with the red X above it is a schedule III but the others aren't control at all but I can't find a difference in any of them. Same ingredients, same strength, all tabs.. Anyone know? And while we're at it, why is chlordiazepoxide (Librium) a control but chlordiazepoxide/clidinium (Librax) is
