Once the generic is on the market, if you want the brand, you can 'sometimes' save money by asking your doc to be sure to check dispense as written. Some insurance companies will charge you a larger co-pay for the brand if it's at your request and not the doctors.
This is the kind of question, a good one, that drives some pharmacists NUTS. Pharmacist, by and large, are really caring people and want to consult w/ patients and get to know them, etc.
Unfortunately, they spend huge amounts of time trying to explain to patients why the patients insurance company is screwing them and their store isn't!!Phil
