I had met people who have a complete knowledge of the generic medicines, yet they still choose the brand without giving any reason.
Why are they doing that?

It’s rare, but some people do have adverse reactions to generics, and have to use the name brands.
Generic thyroid meds are notoriously poorly tolerated.
This is incorrect. You just can’t switch manufacturers easily if you’re stable on one. But that’s not a brand vs generic thing, that’s an any manufacturer to any-other manufacturer thing. Same with warfarin, narrow-therapeutic index antiepileptics, etc.
Yup. I’ve gone unmedicated for 10+ years as a result. I’ll take the highs/lows of hashimoto’s over ending up in the ER with my heart pounding out of my chest any day of the week.
