Go to a different pharamacy. Make sure to let your pharamacy know they are losing your business because they are not providing the service that you the paying customer demand. Getting a name brand drug aint no big deal. You can even do it over the net without a doctor at all. So why a pharmacy can't do it is ridiculous.
This topic has come up many times. You are not the only one who can tell a difference between brand and generic. With non-brain meds I can't tell. But with something that interacts in the brain at a molecular level, I can tell. I see a marked difference between, for example, generic xanax and brand xanax, or generic prozac vs brand prozac. I don't know how the different fillers in generics screw things up, or how some minor difference in making the drug molecules in the lab screw things up, but something sure does.
I guess if someone starts treatment on a generic and they do well, then it doesn't matter. But if they start on a brand and do well but are then switched to a generic and can tell a difference, then that aint cool.
