What I’ve learned is that there is an actual difference between generic and name brand in terms of where it’s manufactured because certain countries are very lax in terms of quality control/the in-between-steps/where they get the main ingredient from/etc. pharmacists will tell general public that we’re just paying for the research done from the company that manufactured it here in the US. But I’m someone whose dad has a doctor of pharmacology and has basically poo-pooed on the idea that we’re just paying for the research if we buy name brand.

In short, I’ve felt the difference between name brand and generic, but idk if you’re strictly asking about efficacy of just name brand over the months or just generic.

Hope this helps reassure you that you’re not the only one.

Link is broken but I started taking stimulants in 2003 and refused to accept generics after ~2 months because the effectiveness varied. Now I pay for my own prescriptions and accept that variability 😵‍💫

There are even differences among generics. This is an issue not limited to adhd meds

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.
