It is not all in your head and you do not sound stupid....yes, there is a difference. Example, I have been on Protonix for years for GERD (Acid Reflux). The Teva brand works the best. They are the yellow Protonix. The other white Protonix simply do not work as well. My doctor believed me and wrote a new prescription and he put Teva Brand preferred on it. That worked great for a while, but, now I can no longer get the Teva brand. I guess they are more expensive.

Sometimes too, you have to go with the brand name vs the generic to get the full benefits. A fine example of that is Synthroid. Levothyroxine (generic) does not work as well as Synthroid for a lot of folks with thyroid disease. You pay more, but, get better results.

Also, some pharmaceutical companies have stopped manufacturing some of the medications that we all take and another pharmaceutical company has taken over.

I recently asked my pharmacist about one of my meds. The blue tablet worked best. The white tablet did not work as well. He told me, pharmacists cannot request certain medications from certain companies anymore due to cost effectiveness and have to accept what they are sent. How sad for the consumer.

A lot of our meds come from other countries and I pray one day they all will be manufactured in the U.S. I had rather pay a little more and get a purer more effective medication, hadn't you?

I believe you my friend. If you have an old bottle of the Clonazepam in pink, look and see who the manufacturer (Pharmaceutical Company) was and check around to see who has it.

I pray you feel better soon. Keep me posted. I care.
