HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, generics can vary according to the strength, side effects and safety profile and effectiveness.
This response can also be individual and vary from one person to the next.
Since you are noting a difference in your response , it would be best to speak to your pharmacist and doctor to let them know that this particular brand does not work for you.
There may also be other patients that are having a similar problem.
I hope this helps
