I don't know what to think about this.
My mom is taking some medication that is thankfully provided in a generic form (otherwise, we couldn't afford it) but we noticed that the packaging had changed, and hence, the manufacturer. Ever since then (in January), it's been apparent that the generic isn't working. She's getting all manner of side effects. (I can't say what she's taking because it would be TMI for a forum). I frequent the People's Pharmacy online and they've logged a million reports on a wide range of drugs that don't work correctly in generic form.
Has anyone else experienced problems with generics?
I'm not sure what to do about this because we can't afford the name brand. I've written to another drug company and asked for financial aid to help with another prescription of hers (she qualifies, thank goodness), but other than doing that again with this particular medication, I can't see that she'll be able to stay on this generic because it's doing weird things to her.
