In reply to Generic vs Brand...evidence emerging..., posted by blueberry on May 14, 2006, at 18:33:25
Good references, blueberry. I mentioned in a previous post that when Xanax users were switched, unbeknowst to them, to the generic, many experienced withdrawal. As I also mentioned before, my 25 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry as a chemist biases me against generics. The criteria for "equivalence" are not enough to call the brand and generic equally potent, IMSO. Generic houses try to make the lowest quality med that can be legally sold...maybe not something you want to count on when you are in great emotional distress.
