I have a pale yellow generic with s901 and a orange generic with 029. Why is the yellow one stronger than the orange when they are both .5 mg?

Hello, Laci! How are you?

There can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic to another. In most cases, it is so slight that no one notices, but some people are sensitive to medications and may find that one generic doesn't work as well for them.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

Is there anything else I can help with?
