hi @jddcft, welcome to the forum.

It may depend on where you live and what your pharmacy’s policy is. I went to my pharmacy and asked for one of my meds to be switched from the generic to the name brand once and the assistant gave me a bit of a hassle but the pharmacist was fine with it and made the switch for me right then.

Like Larynxa said, you could ask your doctor to write “no substitutions”. But you need to know which medication is going to work for you first, right? So you may want to discuss it with him/her. And be sure to mention what the nurse said. Also, talk to your pharmacist. They usually know more than the doctors.

If the medication is right, as a general rule, you should feel an almost immediate effect. But everyone responds differently.
