I wish I had an answer for you. I have to get which ever generic my pharmacy guys for all my scripts. Since I have no choice though I didn't notice a difference when I was in it.

Thanks. Do you mean "they all worked the same"? Which I would take as "good". I should've said "non bad".

FWIW, I've used generic fluoxetine from Walgreens & Walmart (Teva) & not experienced any noticeable change in experience between them. |

They all pretty much worked the same.

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.

The name brand Prozac was a "magic bullet" so to speak. The generics, not so much. |
