Thanks Tammy! We started the generic last night and I'm keeping my fingers crossed all goes well. Meg's on the liquid and definitely noticed a difference in taste (she wasn't to happy). Hoping that it doesn't cause her to gag because we'll never get her to take it, she has such a sensitive tummy and throws up easy.
Thanks
