So you think the only reason people react bad to generics is a nocebo effect.

I don't think that is true. People I have asked here often had issues with the same brand. Often those factories are in the third world. They might not be as good, simple as that. Meds have also been withdrawn because they have realized some of those companies are just not made for our standards but have a great deal of contamination from other drugs made.

I can take the original Xanax. I cannot take one generic that looks exactly like the original, it makes me sick. However I can take one that is flat and looks nothing like the original.

Hows that?
