I have personally experienced this phenomenon with prozac, xanax, and modafinil. I often wonder how many other drugs I tried that worked badly (and were generic) that might have had different outcomes if they had been brand.

The fillers and binders do apparently have more purpose than simply filling the capsule or giving shape to the pill.

I agree with the previous post that all generics should be required to be the exact duplication of the brand. Fillers, binders, capsule, everything.

And on the same topic, some people are sensitive, intolerant, or allergic to food colors, with red and yellow being the most offensive. No surprise, most people with sensitivities are already ill. They don't know they are experiencing a reaction. What the heck is the purpose in making a pill red, blue, or have a yellow stripe, or whatever? I mean, it is going to be viewed for about a second before going down the hatch. Ridiculous. If nothing else, companies could make more profit by selling the exact same pill without color, and save the expense of gallons and gallons of chemical colors.

Strange, but I have heard several people say the generic modafinil from overseas pharmacies is better than brand. So I guess the phenomenon could go both ways, though it seems mostly it goes in a negative way.
