Default Generic sinemet

I have been using generic sinemet manufactured by Teva for the past 10 years. I have often had dyskinesia - in fact I only take 1/2 of a 25/100 carbidopa/levodopa pill every 3 hrs. My mail order pharmacy gave me generic sinemet made by Activa- Elizabeth which doesn't seem to work for me at all!
I relayed this info to the nurse at my neurologists office & she insists that all generics have the same ingredients. I've tried the Activa manufacture sinemet several times - they never kick in for me.
I've searched this forum & could only find a few conversations in 2011. What generics are you using? Any one else with a similar experience?
Is non generic sinemet better? Your input is greatly appreciated.
