No, CVS has to fill the order with one or the other, so I have to get all 60 as name brand.
I guess if I can establish the most useful dosage with the name brand, if I have to "up" it due to the generic, I'll have a clear case that the name brand is better, so if I go with generic for insurance reasons, I can make a strong footnote that the "higher" dosage needed is due to the difference in strength.(This is the plan. No tests have yet been done, nor conclusions drawn, other than the Mylan lorazepam seems very weak.)
