Does one actually work better than the other? The only one available at my pharmacy (CVS) is the generic so I've been taking that but I've heard some people say they've read articles about how the brand name is more effective. What are other people's thoughts?

I use to take effexor before, now I am on the generic and I realy don't feel the differance. I am not sure but I believe most of the differance is in the fillers more so then the actual meds part.

With Hashimoto's disease, managing the Thyroid is not an easy task. The rest of my medications are all generic. -------------------- "I need some meaning I can memorize.
