I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

Do your pill bottles come with a description of the medication inside? (Mine do, but I don't usually get my meds from Wal-Mart.) On the side of the bottle/packaging it will say something like "small round white pill, ETH written on one side". I always check that the description on my packaging matches what's inside, as that's a system designed to prevent situations just like this.

I can't figure out how to hotlink to the image I want to show, so here is the link.
The description of this medication says "round green tablet, side 1: SL 125"
