It's my understading generics are allowed a variance by the FDA something like 20% +/- potency(not positive about that fact, but no doubt there is a difference). I don't think just being generic is bad and there are probably many meds that generic differences from brand are not issues. I've heard that many of the generics are made in different countries and can't imagine how they can all be tested for potency, release systems and other ingredients or that their standards for manufacturing would be the same as brand. All I know is my experence with klonopin generic, on two occasions has been a bust. I have a friend who had the same problem switching from brand zoloft to generic, within a week was having big issues and her doctor told her to go back on brand which solved the problem. I really can't afford brand right now but unfortunately I can't function without it.....
