There has been a lively debate about whether generic drugs are truly equivalent to their brand-name equivalents. That has been stirred up even further by questions about the effectiveness of certain generic medicines, including some for ADHD, epilepsy or depression.
Q. I wrote to the FDA about the side effects of generic Prozac (fluoxetine). When I take this generic antidepressant I think about suicide a lot. I never heard back from the FDA. Apparently it couldn’t care less. As a result I have to pay $1400 every three months for a Prozac prescription. Generic fluoxetine is about $4, but it’s not even worth that much.
i have heard of people having this kind of problems with generics, but i myself have never experienced it.

When I went from having insurance through my work to Medicare, I was forced to start using all generics. And some of those generics did not work as well as the brands.
