OK, so I've been prescribed paxil and I went to fill my prescription and I had the option of getting serotax (brand name) and paroxetine hcl (generic).
I was wondering if anyone has had any personal experience with generic anti depressants in particular SSRI's? I ened up getting the brand name just because I wasn;t for sure but I haven't actually taken it yet. The generic is so much cheaper and I would rather go that route, I can always get another prescription and go get the generic so its no biggie.
I didn't want to start taking the brand name if once I started taking the brand name I couldn't switch to generic without any other side effects. I know the general concenus is that the generic is identical to the brand name but I have heard different stories about people switching to generic and not having success with the generics.
So my question is if I started on a generic would I see the same results or would you rather stick with the brand name and spend the extra money?
