Yeah, we could get into our 5th or 6th discussion on brand vs. generic... it entirely depends on the medication, but I think my beliefs have been spoken on things like benzodiazepines and beta blockers which have been out for ages that as long as it is the same generic manufacturer for as long as possible and insisting on that from the pharmacy, then it shouldn't be a problem.
If that changes, the best thing to do is to alternate any old other-generic with the new generic to account for any differences. That is, of course if your pharmacy allows around 25-26 day refills, which we have a lively discussion above.
