While searching the web today, I found this weblog from WebMD where a doctor states that generic benzodiazepines and other drugs can be as much as 20% different:

All I know is that after being on generic xanax for so long and then switching, I did notice a marked difference in how I felt. It was almost like having to adjust to a whole new medication. My heart pounded faster at first (never expected that), and the brand name seems to not last as
long. Oh well. I just wish I could be off it entirely but that's another story!
