Bill, With rare exceptions generic and brand name drugs are equal in every way except the price. Sometimes they come off the same production line. There may differ slightly in the filler or binder that they use but pharmacologically they are almost always equal. To make your case the most useful thing I think would be a time line like I was suggesting for me. Put in sequence med changes, emotional, and physical changes and try not to be influenced by your preconceptions about what you think is happening or should be happening. That is hard to do bur try your best. If you will do that for me as well as your neurologist I will try and help you interpret it.
