Generic cytomel

Does anyone know if generic Cytomel is as good?  My doctor told me never to get generic Synthroid. She does not know about the Cytomel.

I've taken, both, generic levothyroxine (T4) and liothyronine (T3), as well, as brand name Synthroid and Cytomel.  I did better on on generic levo than I did on Synthyroid...

I've been taking generic liothyronine for over 5 yrs and have done just as well as I did on Cytomel.  

I don't think you'll have any difficulty, with generic T3, but if you do, you can always go back to Cytomel.
