In reply to generic prozac manufacturer preferences, posted by janejane on December 22, 2009, at 8:57:11
This is my second time taking Prozac. The first time I took the name brand, because it was before generics became available. This time I have been taking a generic from Mexico (Collins). I have to admit, the 20mg of Prozac seemed much stronger the first time. But I was not taking Remeron then as I am now. Also, that was before being on Celexa for several years. Maybe there is some long-term cross-tolerance there. Other than the strength, it feels about the same now as it did then.
There is not likely to be any difference between the brand and the generic other than the amount of drug the pill delivers to you. So, if the generic feels weak, take more. If the generic feels strong, take less. Right? I switched back and forth between brand and generic Celexa for the years I was on it, depending on where I filled the Rx, and I could not detect a difference.
