Amen Emme!
The coatings and filler ingredients are very different.
Plus, one of the more popular generic makers that most of the pharmacies around here order from is Teva. I have found that their drugs either don't work at all for me (and insurance doesn't allow for name brand) or the Teva brand drugs are weaker than the originals - which means I have to take more!
Ugh! I hate generics and the fact that insurance companies want me to only buy generic or pay $400 for a name brand drug. It's ridiculous!
