It's a tetracyclic as far as everything I've read says, which makes me smile, because all good things come in 4s. :) I also can't believe they thought it was the same thing. Stupid bloody doctors.
Those links are really good, and I'm very much glad for your experience/input. It helps to know what to expect.
Also, I've been noticing the hunger. I baked muffins the other night, which was a big, BIG mistake, since I sat and chomped my way through 8 of them and 2 bowls of pasta last night. I've got it more under control now thankfully, but I've been noticing the cravings. If it's carbs, sugar or both I want it NOW!
Thanks for the recommendation about drying out/drinking lots. I've actually been noticing that too, and I thought it was just a symptom of the damn cold/flu bug thing I've got. I'm now making sure I've got a bottle of water/squash stuff by me at all times.
The heroin thing... oh boy. So glad I've still got some left so I can come down off it slower than cold turkey. I actually thought my head was going to explode on Friday, and a part of me was wishing it would, just so the pain would stop.

Never again.
