Hi:
I am VERY glad to let us know in regard to the brand vs. the generic.In the beginning of the generic WB sr/Watson, it made me quite happy, particularly as to financial aspect. Because, as we, all know those psycho. meds. are quite expensive. Then, switching to the generic made me feel a 'smart consumer,' , but to be honest, ... I didn't like its color, ... whitish to off-white color. Some saying the color doesn't matter. But, for me, it matters a lot. Because, when I see my med. compartment(clear plastic med. organizer), my other med., Trazodone has VERY close color, whitish. Then, if I mixed-up both meds., I'd be a big problem. Because, the Trazodone is a kind, 'sleeping aid' to help me undisturbing sleep. On the otherhand, WB sr makes me wide-awake due to its stimulant efficacy. Simply, for me, the WB sr and the Trazodone is 'Day and Night' med., then I can NEVER afford to mix-up those 'two.'
All of those facts, ... a comparison between 'Eon' and 'Watson' might be my psychologic preference. But, as I mentioned above, its color is a significant factor for me to change from the Watson to the Eon brand.
As for the side-effects from taking 'Watson,' I can not recall well. However, I might be a bit 'bias' on this regard as well due to my other med., Trazodone.
H.G.
