I didn't know what to call this thread but I wanted us to have this info to refer to as needed (no pun). It was posted last year in BT's Chronic Pain forum by Pharmacist.steve: http://www.braintalkcommunities.org/...rmer-Rockhound
The discussion was about generics that were not effective or had side effects that the trade named drug did not. This can be looked up!
"There is something called the "Orange Book" which rates all approved medications by the FDA.. https://www.fda.gov/drugs/informatio.../ucm129662.htm
Here is a FDA website to report what they determine as a Therapeutic Failure... http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/script.../consumers.htm which seems to describe what you are experiencing
If this medication is not rated/listed in the Orange Book... it is ILLEGAL to dispense."
I remember Joy tell me that generic Cymbalta did not work for her. Her neurologist told her to double the dose. I think it is interesting that this book exists and surprised that I never heard of it.
