Chemically the brands are supposed to be (I think have to be) the same as far as the active ingredients. My nurse explains that the inert ingredients that whoever uses to make the pills can react differently in different people, increasing or decreasing the efficacy of the drug in a susceptible person.
I think everyone should push back on the pharmacies, insuranance companies, pharmaceutical companies, etc, if you have any doubt (OR FEAR OR CONCERN) that the brand name isn't as good for you.
I take generics for MANY of my drugs, such as my lithium. They have performed as well, so I am happy.
The Klonopin DOES NOT perform as well, I became symptomatic again.
