Looking for a reparable website for generic Viagra, without a prescription.
Also is there a noticeable difference between Viagra and the generic?

Then realise that I understated the risks and issues.

They're all reparable. You mean reputable. And don't do this. See a doctor.

The active ingredient/chemical name of "Viagra" is sildenafil. That does not mean that anyone selling sildenafil is selling a generic for Viagra. A product is only generic for a brand product if it is FDA-approved and thoroughly tested not only for safety, but for bioavailability. There is no such product until at *least* March 27, as DevilsAdvocate notes - and once that happens, it will only be produced by one company for at least 6 months after that.
That being said, I work in a pharmacy and I've heard all sorts of horror stories about "generic Viagra" being found to be fake - including some customers who found their tablets to be vitamins actually coated in latex paint. Do *not* buy prescription drugs online - you never know what you're getting.

jannw's right - the only circumstance you should ever buy perscription drugs online ia if your real-life flesh-and-blood doctor or real-life flesh-and-blood pharmacist give you the web address, and it's an official site for a real-life flesh-and-blood health insurance company whose offices you have visited in person. And even then, you probably should just do it in person anyway. In a free country, people can get away with selling some pretty bad stuff.
And if there's one drug that it would be worst to buy over the internet, it's Viagra.
So, yeah: bad idea. Talk to a doctor in person, get a prescription in person, go to a pharmacy in person, and get it that way.

It's been well over ten years since I've ordered drugs over the Internet. I couldn't, in good conscious, give you a specific website to purchase from, BUT if I had decided to look for something to purchase I would start with smart drugs (nootropics) websites. You're probably much better off getting Viagra from a "friend of a friend" or not at all.

Don't know if it's kosher to give out such info on this site, but during the brief time I was without health insurance and in need of antibiotics, a friend recommended medsmex.com. I didn't get Viagra, but the meds I did get worked.

That's not to say there aren't ways to get it illegally, but "acting illegally" and "reputable" (which is what I presume you mean) tend to be mutually exclusive categories.
