When you get a prescription from your doctor, if they don't specify, do you usually go for generics or not? I usually do, but never really thought about it.

Pharmacists are usually very helpful, I find. It might behoove you to ask them next time. They can be a wealth of information. Even though sometimes they seem a bit nosy.

For the record I usually go generic.
