Hope this is OK to post considering it's about a specific manufacturer... if not, moderators, feel free to remove.

So I've done a few rounds of the TEVA generic and it always always puts my stomach into knots. I now specifically request "any other brand but" from my pharmacy (they order it for me; ain't I special- and perhaps a royal pain in the rear) and do not have the issues from other generics as I do with the TEVA stuff.

I did some online searches on it a year or so ago and found various info that helped to convince me that I was not (totally) insane. Just wanted to pass the word along in case others are experiencing the same.

I have also found that generics from certain manufacturers work better for me than other generics. I have actually had my symptoms that got better suddenly from one generic, come back when I was switched to a different generic. Scary!

That is a good suggestion about asking for a specific one. Good to know pharmacies will do that for you! Cool.

I use sandoz from canada and it is milder on tummy than the US version, costs $230. less per 100 tabs and I think it may be time released.
