I'm wondering how many of you are using the generic. Most pharmacies don't want you to know this, but it IS different from the name brand -- "Desogen." I have experienced lethargy, weight gain, bloat, etc. with the generic, but the real thing has not let me down and now I demand it. I suggest you inquire as to which you are getting because you may have better luck on the name brand than the generic. By the way, my gyno. said he heard similiar complaints about the Desogen generic from other women.
