In reply to generic dexedrine dextrostat is it as good, posted by dennison on April 17, 2002, at 17:17:55
> HI-- Currently got prescribed dextrostat "generic dexedrine". 5mgs--3 times a day-- I forgot to tell pdoc I wanted brandname:(. Would appreciate anyone's experience comparing the two " the generic vs. brandname". Typically I don't give 2 hoots whether it's brand or generic but I've heard many mention that ritalin generic for instance simply isn't as effective as the brandname. The brandname dexedrine 5 mg tablets that I've used in past were very smooth and effective. Today since I've tried the generic dexedrine dextrostat I feel a bit uncomfortable...................................................................................................................................................Would appreciate anyone that might have a thought about my concern!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx -- Awful hot out today isn't it:(:( .
when i was on generic ritalin sr (currently taking concerta & thankfully there is no generic - yet) every batch was different. from one month to the next my response would change... the first time it happened i thought it was me - that it wasn't working anymore - then i filled a new presciption and lo & behold - i was fine againi do understand, however, that there are certain drug companies whose generics are much cleaner and consistent than others. the trouble is finding out who they are and then getting your pharmacy to use them. my insurance will only pay for generic brands.
i've had the same experiences with generic pain killers, anti-inflammatories, and diet pills (that was years ago)
I HATE GENERICS
just my 2¢
good luck,
v
