> Not necessarily. Suggestion? How bought paying for a few days worth of the namebrand. Try it and see. Then compare to Greenstone and Sandoz? I think Sandoz has the Greenstone brand now there is a thread poster name Abby Cunningham who explains who bought which company was only last week I think?. They say if you start on a generic it's okay but if it was the real deal no dice. Did you read the link and What the FDA requires for a generic? Not much. Love Phillipa ps what's important is that you get the med that works the best for your body chemistry.
I don't feel comfortable asking my doctor for a mini-prescription of brand name. I feel like she thinks I'm a freak for even being concerned about the generic/brand issue. But maybe I should just suck it up and ask. It would be nice if she could give me samples of a few different generics along with brand name. Problem is, if I tried the brand and really liked it, well, as you say above, it'd be difficult to go back to generic.
When you say "not necessarily" above, is that in reply to my saying that I'd know after just a dose or two whether Greenstone was working well for me? Do you think it might take longer to get used to it?
I tried to read the article (I think I found the right thread) about generics, but I couldn't open the link because I don't have an AOL screen name or something... Weird.
I appreciate all your help, Phillipa.
