There has been a generic for years, but not in the U.S. I've been ordering from out of the country and the cost is 2/3 less than here. It's 128.00 for 3 months. That is awesome. I asked my doctor if it was safe and even took some to show him and analyze and he said it's the same thing. I use the same pharmacy I've used for like 10 years. Never had a problem out of them. Saved me thousands of $$. If I had to order from U.S., I couldn't afford it.
Hi jw,
My Dr. told me Effexor ER will become generic in 2010.
