I've been taking Teva brand for the last 2 years and occ. was having a blip here and there but overall doing well. For the last 2 1/2 weeks I've been depressed with intrusive thoughts. I also have been on Yaz and spironolactone over the last month for acne. I was thinking I have PMDD because my depression/anxiety has been bad around my menstrual cycle. Anyways I've been taking my pills but the last one or two prescriptions have been by Dr. Reddy (manufacturer) and my depression has just been terrible. Has anyone had this issue with manufacturer prescriptions having different side effects?

    I believe it does! Have have been taking Fluoxetine HCL 40 MG for 3 years. When I got it filled this time: the pill clor was orange and green instead of blue and white!

    A different manufacture. I noticed a difference in 2 days of taking it. Not Good! This new color pill is deffinatly not the same!
