See thats what I don't necessarily believe (no offence). Even if a generic is 20% less bioequivalent, this is nothing that a doubling of dose won't more than correct.
It doesn't necessarily matter if there was another factor. People relaspe. People have placebo responces. Depression is known to have one of the highest placebo responces of any illness. If people think they are getting the good stuff, it will work, if they think they are getting something less than that, they may relapse.
