Some hope regarding generics

Hi guys, so instead of filling at Walgreens and getting the authorized generic, Wilshire, which sucks in comparison to Winder Labs,
I asked my doctor to write “fill with Winder Labs only” and to send it to CVS, as they’ve historically always ordered specific generics for me without issue. They only had Teva in stock. They ordered Winder Labs and it came in the following day.

The ones from Winder Labs blow Wilshire out of the water. I can actually feel it kick in now. I took my first 10 mg 3 hours ago, and only got 4 hrs of sleep, but this is how 40 mg would have me kinda feeling but I’d be totally miserable with 4 Hrs of sleep.

My mood is better, I don’t have to take all four 10 mg tablets I’m prescribed. They last so much longer for me than Wilshire ever did and it feels like a different med, in a good way.

So if you’re struggling with finding the right pharmacy or generic or even difficulty obtaining brand name, consider doing what I did. I do not regret it! (I sound like an infomercial 😅 where’s my money for the Winder testimonial)

Good luck, everyone! 👍🫶

10 mg four times a day. Already noticed a difference between this and the authorized generic which seems to have changed over the past couple of months and I wasn’t about to get stuck with that again so I had my doctor specify the manufacturer I wanted and CVS had no problem, ordering it if it is sent before noon then it will come in the next day. My provider missed it by two minutes, lol but it was worth the weight. I’ll be able to give a better review in a couple of days because right now my tolerance went down, but I’m not grinding my teeth and I have zero appetite, but I am not hyper focused and I am in a way better mood. They didn’t kick in within 15 minutes like authorized generic was doing, and I always take that as a bad sign. Historically, whenever that happens, it means that the pill is cheap and dissolves way too quickly, and then wears off way too quickly, but when it gradually kicks in smoothly, then I know that I probably made a solid choice. Definitely recommend if you are struggling to get the brand names and I don’t want to try another month of the dwindling effectiveness of WILSHIRE if anyone has any questions feel free because I’ve tried every manufacturer.
