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 Meds have also been withdrawn because they have realized some of those companies are just not made for our standards but have a great deal of contamination from other drugs made.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?
Still don't say where you live??????? I did have trouble when Prozac became fluoxetine how many years ago maybe 20 , I crashed big time . I asked the chemist if I could still have the named brand Prozac and he said NO . I asked why??? he said because its £13 for your script more than the new generic and the NHS wont pay us. £13 extra 20 years ago was fortune for 28 tabs, now days the price of Prozac is near the same has the generic fluoxetine, I don't understand your first question
