Good Morning. I am surprised there aren't any responses yet. I can give you my experiences. My daughter and her doctor believe there is a big difference between manufacturers. She needs a specific make for Lamictal and she was on a couple of different makers of Trilafon. One really sedated her and the other didn't. She had a long conversation with our pharmacist about it and he said there can be a 10% difference in effectiveness between different makes of the 'same' drug. My daughter's doc will be very specific when he is looking for a certain maker on a couple of her meds. Pharmacy every now and then will switch manufacturers, that is just horrible. But if you have a good relationship with them and your doc then you can work with them to find the original maker.

I wish you and your wife all the best. Good luck sorting this out.
