Yesterday I ran a test with the CVS supplied Mylan generic, then today paid in full for a refill of name brand Wyeth Ativan, and re-ran the same experiment.My initial conclusion is that there is a *big* difference in quality between the two, with the name brand Wyeth far superior to the generic Mylan.
I'll give the details as the days go by.
