The only difference I've discovered is cost. Some generic forms are more than others (even with insurances). For example, fluoxetine capsules are generally quite a bit more expensive than tablets. And tablets can be split to create doses- for example, if the dose is 30mg and the MD writes for a 30mg capsule, you could have them write instead for 1.5 of a 20mg tablet, which would still be less per month than the capsules.
