The FDA does not advertise it, but they allow a whopping 20% -/+ difference in the bioavailability of the active ingredients of all prescription generic drugs.
> I've taken many drugs for depression and A.D.D. Most of them haven't worked at all and/or made me feel worse. Anyways, I'm just wondering if anyone knows about or has any experience with generic drugs versus brand names. I'm particularly interested in stimulants like Ritalin and Adderall. I've only taken generics of those two. I'm kind of desperate, so I am hoping that maybe trying the brand names might work. Thanks.
