Could I be allergic to generic meds?

Asking outside my health filter since this is less a personal thing and more a general question of science.

Recently I've tried a bunch of blood pressure meds with different mechanisms/chemical properties and had what seemed to be a similar allergic reaction to almost all of them. Pondering if there's some underlying cause, it occured to me that they were all from the same generic meds company Apotex.

So now I'm wondering if it's worth asking specifically for the name brand version and seeing if I have an allergic reaction to that, or if that's likely to be a waste of time and money.

Baldur's Gate 3: It has been [0] days since the party last killed any children

Masterpost

So I finally did the Githyanki Creche! And, well. Stav still hasn't murdered as many children as Tav, or the average githyanki creche member for that matter, and I think that counts for something.

Some of my thoughts are about how everything ties into the larger plot, but are under an extra inner cut.

As I write this post I'm actually nearing the end of Act 2, but I'll put all that in another post. I'm still having fun playing the game, but being a lot more slow and thorough without that drive to get to the end. Which is overall working really well, there's enough weird little things I missed or different choices I can make to make it not feel too samey.
