Courtney sent this is the other day: Report questions generic antidepressant
I found this to be true with Wellbutrin and now the Synthroid I take for hormone replacement. I’m completely self-pay, so without nice doctors who give me samples now and then, I’m paying a ton of money per month for drugs. But I’ve found for myself that if I at least start out taking the name-brand drug for a few months and then try switching to a generic, I have a much better idea if it’s actually working the same, much like the example in the article. It’s worth the expense if it’s at all possible.
What have you all found?

Wow – that’s so obvious, it’s brilliant! Or maybe vice versa.
In any case, it’s something I never thought of doing, but will now try. It would be so great to know whether it’s worth the massive amounts of money for my current Rx. Thank you.
