HA HA 
I hate pharmacists who say this garbage. Are they stupid or are they deliberately lying to us? 
First of all the FDA allows the generic companies to vary their dosage of ACTIVE ingredients up or down by about 12 percent (I'm not sure on the exact number.) So in the generic you could be getting more of the active ingredients. Or you could be getting less.
I'm going out on a limb here but the point is that the generic companies can have bad quality control so that even from pill to pill the dose of the ACTIVE ingredients can vary.
Also, the INACTIVE ingredients can vary considerably. They can make a complete difference in the pill we are getting.
For sensitive people, even INACTIVE ingredients have an effect.
Good luck with this BJ.
I'll be thinking about you.
