Generics

Does anybody here fill prescriptions with generics? Have you ever noticed a difference?

Leave it to a nurse to know

I just got my new BC prescription and have been debating on whether or not to fill it with generics this time. I am worried about side effects.

Re: Generics

As long as the generic doesn't produce side effects, I'll be okay.

Re: Generics

I didn't like my generic BC - it made me nauseous. I ended up having to switch to something completely different

Re: Generics

I used generic and it was actually better than my regular rx! A pleasant surprise, though it was not for BC pills..

Re: Generics

I didn't like the generic of my BCP. I'm on the same BCP as Dani. I had my doctor call my insurance company to authorize the name brand only, not the generic.

Re: Generics

This is my concern. I have been happy with the brand name, but it is expensive and so I was thinking of switching to generic but I don't want to get sick... I wonder if I should try it and see or just stick with the brand name
