Effexor is pure garbage. It actually made me worse. Soon as I switched to brand zero side effects. GENERICS CAN BE DIFFERENT -- from the brand name and from each other, in two important ways. First, as others have mentioned they can have DIFFERENT BINDERS. People may react to the binders, and especially with extended release, different binders can give different releasing times. Teva extended release welbutrin was so different from the brand in it's timing that many health plans dropped it. Second, AMOUNTS OF ACTIVE INGREDIENT CAN BE DIFFERENT. Check with FDA regulations or those in your country if not USA -- on many medications there is a 20% variability that is considered the "same." Not if you're taking it! True, some generics work just as well as brand; some even work better for some people -- but those who say they are the same are not well informed. I have just switched from brand to generic effexor. I am sweating like crazy. The sweating coincides with the switch to generic. There is no way I can keep taking the generic, it's almost October. I cannot bear to think of what May next year will be like in the NY heat. That's the only thing I feel is different, the sweating. I am sure they are the same formulas but I am guessing the time release of the generic is a lot faster. 12Next Related topicseffexor, effexor xr, generic Further information Effexor XR uses and warnings Similar questions Search for questionsStill looking for answers?
