Renee is correct. It does't matter which one you start with, aso long as you stick to it. There are a few exceptions however, for instance if you have thyroid cancer then brand name is always better than generic because it is replacing everything your thyroid makes, not just a portion.
Generics aren't made to the same quality standards as brand names and can vary in the actual dosage. If you seem to be having problems with getting your TSH down, then you may want to consider switching.
