> JayJay, do you think there is any difference between the diazepam generics? I've taken the Mylan version, and has felt like a placebo/sugar pill ever since. I used to have brand in the middle east, and a generic in china that seemed much more effective.
Perhaps it's just that I'm tapering, and in tolerance withdrawal, hence not feeling any effect.
What do you think about the other generics? Is Lederle better?
All the pharmacists that I spoke to seem to think that Mylan is just as good as the rest of the generics.
What's your opinion?
Plus I've heard that it's not good to change generics while in the midst of a taper, is this true?
