Re: Brand name to generic?

The difference between brand and generic is that the brand one is still under patent and the company marketing them can therefore charge a fortune.
I'm taking Lyrica which costs my GPs practice £60 a month to supply me with, whereas the mirtazapine I also take costs them around £1 a month for me.
That said, even though the active compound in brand and generic medicines is the same, different coatings and different manufacturing processes can mean the effect may be slightly different.
In your case I suspect it was the dosage increase though.
