I am not saying "Big Pharma" is great(they don't even give me free pens anymore.) I am saying the government could make generics better by tightening up the definition of equivalent.Once a med has gone generic for several years the quality of the generics is generally pretty good,but I had many patients with depression who were doing great on Wellbutrin XL who had a recurrence of symptoms when it went generic.
If I'm not mistaken, a generic of Wellbutrin just got pulled from the market.
As someone who (unfortunately) has to take a lot of medication, I am always delighted when they go generic but it is frustrating when the particular generic changes at the pharmacy. This has been happening a lot lately. I don't notice any change in the medication's effects, but there are two in particular that are prone to turning to powder. :bitching:
