Is there any truth to the fact the generic drug for Plavix has now been taken off the market? The pharmacist said the generic drug was released for sale too fast and has now been pulled so we have to buy the more expensive Plavix again. Doesn't sound right to me but someone may know the truth. Can we here from them now?

Legal issues caused the company making generic Plavix to stop marketing it. The contention was copyright infringement.
It's still up in the air as to when it will be available again.

Plavix does not have a generic yet, and won't for another few years in the U.S. Generics cannot be released until they are approved by the FDA.
