I had met people who have a complete knowledge of the generic medicines, yet they still choose the brand without giving any reason.

Why are they doing that?

I was going to say, it does depend on the drug and person. My son had that experience where the insurance flip-flopped to cover generic instead of Adderall, but it did not work at all for him so we had to fight to get it changed back. Since then every year or so insurance plays their game and we have to go through the ritual explaining why it can't be generic when that becomes the one covered. It shouldn't be this hard, right?

Omg. We fight the damn battle every year as well for our son. They don't understand that the delivery systems are different. Well, they probably do, but don't care.
