I switched to generic for a month and my stomach was upset along with not quite feeling as good. Now, maybe I didn't feel as good because my stomach was upset half the time. Every doctor I've spoken to admits there may be a difference in how people respond to some brand and generic psychiatric medications. I forget the explanation my last pdoc gave me. I think he also spoke of a few of his patients responding better to generics. Anyway, we've talked about this before. I understand your and others stance on the brand vs. generic issue.
