There were no generic equivalents for the drugs my wife was taking either. That's why she had been reluctant to follow up with WalMart. The thing is, doctors make money off the scripts they write for new drugs... which have no generic equivalent. The thing is you may not need the latest and greatest drug on the market. Most maladies can be treated with drugs that have been on the market for years, but docs don't make money off prescribing those drugs.
I had my wife go to her doctor with the WalMart list and ask "are there any drugs on this list that will work for me?" and not "are there any generic equivalents for the drug you have me on?" as the answer to the second question will most always be "no".
