[quote=Anonymous]In most cases the generics are as effective as name brand.  I'm not saying that some people aren't super sensitive and need the brand but really this is a very tiny percent of people and you are very likely not one of them.

Think of all the generic antibiotics we are using.  You never hear about the generics being less effective and people demanding brand names.  They aren't marketed in the same way.  I think the drug companies have done such a fabulous job of marketing their product that people will choose it even though it's basically the same thing but only 3 times more expensive.  They get away with it because the insurance companies are paying the bills so we aren't as aware of what's happening.  But don't be fooled into thinking that all of this isn't driving up our premiums.  If some of these posters were paying for these meds themselves I think they would probably take a step back and give the generic time and more of a chance.

The generic was only released a month ago and I'm shocked about how many people seem to be running back to their doctors already!  I'm not too happy about footing the bill for these folks with my premiums either.  I've been on the generic for a month and I've not noticed any difference.

And the poster who wrote an entire page of bizarre symptoms....holy cow!  The active ingredient is the same....I can't imagine what in the world would cause such a huge range of freakish symptoms.  I'm really thinking that she has other things going on that aren't related to the stimulant.  Way to go freaking everyone else out who have to give this to their children.

The doctors don't care and will just write the script for brand name only to make their patient happy....I doubt they really agree but it's not their money to waste.
