The doctor has to write "dispense as written" on the prescription if you want to get Valium(R); otherwise, by default, the pharmacist will dispense a generic. There's a good reason for this: generics have to be bioequivalent to the name brand, and brand-name drugs are bloody expensive. So I wouldn't worry about it -- just take your meds and go spend the money you save on something nice for yourself! :-)
