Has anyone used fluoxetine by Aurobindo pharm?

I'm always skeptical changing manufacturers but my pharm does not have the ones I was taking.

    They all have different inactive ingredients, and different colors, and sometimes different dosages.... 20% different in either more or less of the actual fluoxetine medicine. I personally have tried aurobindo and it did not work well for me, but it may work for you. Since they stopped manufacturing the Sandoz brand I have tried several different generics with no success, so I now take the brand name Prozac and it works well for me.
