Valium vs generic-should I worry?

Posted by Chloe on June 13, 2002, at 19:17:44

The pharmacy keeps giving me diazapam, but my pdoc said she specifically called in Valium. But pharmacy says they need some written form to dispense brand name. Is this stigma r/t valium abuse???
I don't know why, but pdoc thinks brand name is better. Am I going to notice any difference from my little yellow pills to these Mylan orange crumbly things. Do I need to taper or swap slowly? I have been on brand names for about 10 years!
Anyone with experience changing from brand to generic valium???
Thanx
Chloe
