1. I switched from Depakote to lithium- no problems

If you are switching to a generic for Depakote, it doesn't seem to me like you are changing anything but the price you pay for the medication. I can't wait until they come out with a generic for Geodon. It will be like another Independence Day to me.

2. Thank you, but I have read that for certain psych meds,

even changing to the generic can make a difference. The active ingredients are supposed to be the same, however the inactive ingredients don't have to be. And chemicals affect everyone differently, so we shall see. Thank for the input. Also, I am not the one taking the meds, it is my boyfriend. I will probably call his Dr, and in the meantime watch for signs of change. Peace.
