Great article and it could not be more true! This is coming from someone who has had AWFUL experiences on generic anti-depressants (Teva in particular). I noticed a HUGE DIFFERENCE when I switched from Teva Fluoxetine to Sandoz!! Taking Teva made my depression worse, but with Sandoz I finally felt somewhat back to normal-the way a quality generic or anti-depressant should.

I have nothing against ANY generic drug company (even Teva), nor do I work for any such company so there is no reason for me to lie about my experiences on some of these vastly inferior generic drugs. The FDA obviously isn’t doing their job right and you don’t screw around with people who have moderate to severe depression! I have heard stories of people committing suicide from switching to a generic like Teva or Ranbaxy and I sadly know why.

I try not to take drugs for anything unless I’m in a lot of agony (eg: migraine). I don’t trust anything they’re coming out with these days.

MediaCurves.com just conducted a national study with 966 viewers of a news clip highlighting the potential dangers of generic brand drugs. illustrating the dangers of texting and driving. Results showed that nearly half of viewers (46%) reported that they are less likely to purchase generic drugs after watching the video. The study also found that 66% of viewers had a more negative perception of generic brand drugs after watching the news clip. More in-depth results can be viewed at http://www.mediacurves.com/HealthCare/J7539-Generic-Drugs/Index.cfm

I think your post may have opened my eyes to something
very important. I plan to look at all my drugs again, more closely.
when I talk with my doctor and my pharmacist, I will be glad to
share this with them; as well I’m mailing a copy to myself
to print and circulate to those who provide any medical care
for me. I do not think I’ll be looking at my medicines the same
ever again. Thank You for Opening My Eyes, and Possibly Saving My Life.

I bought an ec ad because I support quality blogs
and you are a quality blogger. please stop by anytime
I’m RE Ausetkmt – it’s nice to meet you.
