> Its rare to hear complaints about generics for drugs that have longer half lives. It seems like most complaints are with shorter acting drugs like wellbutrin, stimulants, nardil, buspar etc. You rarely hear complaints about generic prozac, and the generic TCAs with longer half lives.
Issues are more likely with Wellbutrin because it's a sustained release product. The release profile of different brands may be slightly different.
As far as I know, there is no generic version of Nardil (at least there isn't in the UK). The complaints have been about the formulation change of branded Nardil which took place a few years ago. For reasons that I do not know, the manufacturer decided to change the excipients in the tablets.
