> Many people experience a negative change when they go to a different generic. Is it ever the other way around?
Yes. Sometimes. My lyme doc had a generic version of one of the pain pills that he had seen outperform brand in his practice. Me, I liked nortriptyline as long as it was one particular generic brand. A different generic or brand felt bad almost like poison.
I like generic ritalin a lot better than brand.
I think the point is to try both because otherwise it is not possible to know how the patient really responded to that med.
