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 switched from name-brand to generic when I moved from the EU back to the states. The generic did not work. This prompted me to research generics bioavailability where I discovered that generics are between 3% - 10% less bioavailable on average. That can be a huge difference when you're taking mental health medication. I had to double the dose to make it "work" again.
