No one ever knows what alprazolam Is, but they know xanax. Know one knows what trazodone is, but they know Desyrel, and so on.

I usually refer to brand names when talking to most people, not to mention i cannot say the names of some of the drugs and the brand names are easier to say. But I do usually know the actual name of the chemical as well so if someone mentions that I usually know what they are referring to unless its one I haven't heard of.

I only know the generic name of the ones I have been on but I know the brand names of all of them so I would prefer brand names.

We tend to use generic names in the UK, I've quickly learnt to be bi-lingual in meds since finding pc. The reason docs use generic names in the UK is cost, so the pharmacist can scrat around trying to find the absolute cheapest version. Sometimes the generics are the just the branded drug in a plain packet (lol).

I actually know of trazodone but have never heard of Desyrel. One time at the pharmacy, I told the clerk I wanted a refill of the ativan. She said that she couldn't find that one on my record. I said "lorazapam" and then she got it. I guess I couldn't expect her to necessarily know the brand name of the generic, but I found it strange.
