morning,
has anyone had any setbacks when changing brand of pills, been feeling amazing for the last few weeks, chemist couldn't get the usual "accord" brand pills so gave me an alternative, now I feel awful, maybe me over thinking things or has anyone else had this,
thanks regards Matt

Yes the same thing happened to me, was going fine & chemist said that they are all the same!! I felt rotten could feel anxiety etc., kicking in. so I rang a GP friend of mine and asked would this be because of the brand, she said yes, as they are all different, so I went back to Chemist and asked for LUSTRA and thankfully it all settled down after a week or so. So it wasnt all in my head! hope you get sorted soon.

I think there is definitely a difference when they change the manufacturers! I also had called the doctor and pharmacy because the look of the pill was different and they just said 'its just a different manufacturer' that they are the exact same though. They are NOT! There was definitely a difference, I don't care what they say. I think the only way to get the exact brand all the time is to get the name brand but that is very expensive here. Well, at least I know I'm not the only one who thinks this way!

I've had exactly the same problem too. There was a definite difference when i changed brands and it was like going back to the beginning. My Dr always writes me a hand written prescription now with my current brand, that way the pharmacy cant give me an alternative, it just means that sometimes i have to phone around pharmacies to find one that's got the brand in stock!
