Generic Drugs
My doctor says that some generic drugs don't work as well as the name brand ones while others are fine as a replacement. I have saved money using generics, but have also had generics that don't work quite as well as the brand name medications.
If you are going to switch to a less expensive brand or a generic brand, first ask if the doctor has samples (he/she may of newer competing brands) If not, ask to have a trial prescription filled. That way if the new medication doesn't work well for you, you haven't paid for a full prescription.
