Bullshit. Generic drugs suck. Take any generic drug where there is something you can isolate or feel. Like Ambian, or Ritilin, or adderal there is simply no way generics are as good.

However the generic version is much weaker and after being in remission for years it flared up again because I wasn't getting enough medicine. It takes 2 or so months for the drug to kick in this ain't no joke.
