GG16

Really old pill?

According to one database, round white tablet imprinted GG 16 is 4 mg cyproheptadine hydrochloride made by Geneva Generics (discontinued in 1993).    It's an antihistamine.

I can't confirm this information with the other databases.

GG91

So sorry!

Makes much more sense that your tablet is GG91 and not GG16!

Round white tablet imprinted GG on one side and 91 on the other side is 0.5 mg lorazepam.

Edited to add image so there is no confusion:

Sandoz Lorazepam 0.5 mg

No, I am the Dummy!

I should have used my common sense in the first post.  Why would you have a 12 year old or older antihistamine needing an ID?  And especially when I couldn't confirm it with the other databases, I should have realized GG 16 was wrong!

Looks to me like you are doing great!  You posted a couple of questions and a few replies, so I think you figured it out!
