I took brand name quetiapine as Seroquel for 6 months. 400mg at night. I am now taking generic quetiapine.
I’m on 300mg at night. 100mg at 7pm, 100mg at 8pm and 100mg at 9pm. Anyway I find the brand name to be harsher and more likely to cause akathisia. The price is actually the same though for some reason. I also get a discount.
I’ve been on a generic abilify for 1 year. I like it pretty well. Abilify used to be really expensive here, even the generic version. So I would hate to see what the brand name one cost. This year so far, it has cost a lot less.
I have heard some brand name work a little different than the generics. Some work better, others not as well. There should not be a difference though, but, unfortunately, for us this isn’t always the case. Glad you are on the generic since it seems to help you more.
Brand name Risperdal is very potent.
I experience more side effects with the brand.
I prefer generic risperidone but was having trouble with one specific generic.
I think that I’m now finally getting used to it.
I have taken both generic and brand name medication and both work equally well, the only stuff that I have ran into trouble with was meds I have ordered overseas such as from India or Pakistan, most of them have a weaker effect or don’t work at all, there is no telling what they put in that stuff!
Brand usually work well than generic
It’s the same thing.
From my experiences with both the brand name Seroquel and generic quetiapine, I think the brand name Seroquel is more potent and has more side effects as well. I’m going to keep on taking the generic. Thank you for your input.
Nothing wrong with generic prophet man
Thanks man. I was literally swallowing a generic tablet right then as you posted that! Because It it 7pm for me.
