You're right, it is the fillers that make some, but not necessarily a huge difference. It depends, its like how thin the bun is on the burger.
Even if it was 20%, which is probably excessive -- and this has been beaten like a dead horse in a thread a month or so back, fluoxetine would still have a massive 7 day half life and likely be nearly the same as a brand name Prozac dose by the time the half life curve filled in.
Mainly its keeping the same generic that is more important -- tell your pharmacist that you do not want to switch generic suppliers.
