babettess Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I just started the generic. My doctor didn't say anything about having to have brand name so I don't know. I will let you know how it goes.Babette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmy Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm on the Pyri too, 60mg, now 3 times a day. My doctor also didn't seem to care if it was the generic or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartcats Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I am on the generic, too. Have been for more than 1 year. It seems to be fine and it is an 'older' medicine. I think the generic has been around a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ode_to_fantasy Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I've been taking it for years. I consider it my miracle drug. It works wonders =D It's pretty harsh on your stomach at first though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I consider it my miracle drug. It works wonders =DWhat symptom(s) has it helped with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartcats Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 It has helped me with stabilizing my BP and helping weird 'body aches' I get. Once I was through the first week of 'stomach upset' I haven't had any side effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
