Thanks laima,
I don't want to open up a *HUUUUGE* debate on the status of generics and WHO and the FDA, and the patent protection issues.
Like you, i have not had too much trouble with generics (with the exception of lithium which almost killed me); i did notice that clonazepam in generic form was weaker-- but that's it over a couple of decades.
I agree with you that i could be many factors -- it could that the drug is old, or the lab did not use the same ratio of filler and active ingredients, etc.
So, definitely it is a good idea to switch to another generic just in case. Unfortunately, this issue divides on political grounds and ideology. Well, i think it's a good idea anyway.
Chacun a son gout.
ThanksSquiggles
