If you can describe the pill (color, shape, score marks, ect) and give me all the numbers, letters, & symbols on it, I can find out what it is.

Thanks so much for the offer, Rudder. It's a small, round, white pill. With an X on one side (I'm presuming it's used to divide it) and EP 225 on the other. I sure do thank you

Chris

The "EP" on the pill usually refers to the pharmaceutical's initials, although some don't stamp it on. The number usually refers to either the ID number for the pharmaceutical or the doseage. I have a Physician's Desk Refernce that I am looking through it right now for you, and I have found nothing so far. This may be because it is generic. It's hard to tell. If I find anything, I will post again for you.

Hi there,
Can you take it up to a Walgreen's pharmacy or a major pharmacist to check it out? Why are you so concerned?
