This might not be helpful, I'm just guessing here. But I would say that generic vs brand name drugs are probably similar to other generic vs brand name items. If you go to walmart and get the generic type of some product (soap, food, or whatever), sometimes it's just like the brand name, but sometimes it's not.
I read about some woman who took 5 different kinds of Ritalin-- brand name and 4 different generics. Only one particular type of generic worked for her. The rest didn't.
