they are suppose to be equal but I have noticed it depends on the person and the medication, for instance I have had problems with certain generics when it comes to pain medicine the one I am currently on is a brand name drug and I seem to be having much better results with it, I hope you do well with whatever you are looking at keep us posted
Thanks caringsonbj
I got on well with psyc yesterday,met different woman,she very nice and understanding.Changed me to prozac and upped the xanax to 1mg twice daily,its better then nothing so im happy to see how it goes hopefully there will be some improvement soon,could'nt get any worse than i was anyway.I was asking about the generic and brand because i was given gerax and never heard of it before but got it sorted today with the pharmacey,she gave me the xanax.So said would keep you posted. Thanks for the advice.
