Bipolar II ForumsGeneral & SupportGeodon Generic Question

Recently my Pdoc prescribed me the generic version of Geodon, and I took it for the first time tonight. I am feeling like I haven't even taken it. Usually when I miss a dose of Geodon I start to feel really anxious, it is horrible, like a never ending panic attack. I am getting that feeling with the generic version, even though I took a dose. I am just wanting to see if anyone else has taken the generic version, did it interact differently than the brand name? Is this just all in my head? I am unable to see the pdoc because my insurance is horrible and they haven't given me medical insurance yet.

Been taking the generic for a few weeks now and I noticed no change. Hope it starts to kick in and you feel better.
* When nothing goes right...go left
* Attach your own oxygen mask before assisting others
* Women are not that complicated. How hard is it to tell us
we are pretty and give us chocolate?
* Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting their own battle.
* Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its troubles. It empties today of its strength

thanks so much for your response. I am just hoping that it is just a one time thing. I am feeling a lot better since posting this, so maybe it just took longer to take effect.

I switched to the generic when I was taking it after 2 years on the brand name, and it didn't seem any different.
