Been on Prozac, brand and generics for basically 18 years, generics are not as good as the brand. I have never felt the same good effects from generics, only more side effects like lethargy and weakness, dullness. The only generic I suppose I did well on was Dista, which until reading these posts, I did not realize was a generic. I though it was the brand Prozac. But this was 15 years ago, now I can't even get Dista. I am taking Sandoz brand currently, but not thrilled with it. I might actually consider trying to get the brand again. Generics are not equivalent in my opinion. By the way, I also take bupropion and had to insist on the brand as well. The generic is like a whole different medication. How do they get away with that?
