Default Question about GENERICS! PLEASE HELP!

I have to fill my prescription for Percocet. The strength is 10/325. Apparently, I have a choice between Watson and Endo. I realize that generics are supposed to work the same. However, I also read somewhere that some people react differently to different generics. Which is it? Is it psychosomatic? Is there another manufacturer for this besides Watson and Endo that's worth considering?

Thanks so much for your help!

No, it's not just psychosomatic, there are different fillers in various pills which affect how some people may react to them. Some generics are also not made as well as others, so in turn, they just don't work as well.

I cannot tell you which generic is the best, you will really need to just try for yourself, and see which one works for you.

My information is not guaranteed correct. I do not get them right all the time, but I do enjoy the hunt~

hey crunch... zippy is right about the fillers, if you have allergies that may matter, but otherwise i have never noticed the difference. some people just like brand name drugs just like some like brand name clothes. as for the active ingredient ( the only thing that really matters) its all the same. by the way carefull with those percocet, they are very addictive no mater what brand!
