But I like the sandoz version a lot.Well, your own case report of your sample of one is added to the growing anecdotal cases of thousands. That is, there IS a difference, not only from brand to generic, but from generic to generic. A difference large enough to impact efficacy.
Is it due to the quality of the actual ingredient? Is there maybe some tiny miniscule molecular quirk in the active ingredient from one manufacturer to the other? Is it the fillers impacting absorption rates?
And why exactly is old Nardil so different than new Nardil? I mean, they are both the same ingredient, right? The only things that really changed are the manufacturing methods and the fillers/binders. Some Nardil fans/chemists theorize that the unique binders of old Nardil caused a particular absorption efficiency that is now missing in the new Nardil.
I don't think anyone has any answer at this time.
