The choice issue is simply not that easy. If CVS is contracted for Mylan generic you cannot then get greestone generic or geneva generic unless you can find a drug store that is contracted to carry that brand. As for paying for the real deal....you have to pray to God your health insurance will accept a DAW script from your pdoc and many don't thereby forcing you to pay for the full script if you want the real deal and not just the deductible. So the decision isn't really yours.....if your on a budget. I don't know where you live but in Michigan all of the big chain drugstores in the metro area all have switched to Mylan you could not get geneva or greenstone even special order....I tried. The only special order item you can get is Xanax or the original and some pharmacies won't even do that for you....I also checked into that. When I took my new script DAW for xanax I had more than one store try to once again give me Mylan and would not special order the Xanax because they simlpy don't moove enough of it. Most don't even have regular xanax in stock. I had one phamacist tell me to go to the hospital pharmacy that was my best bet. So I pray to God your area does not end up like it is here. If the Mylan works for you don't change it....if it ain't broke don't fix it............Good Luck,
Gil
