    I am exactly the same prefer having just one manufacturer but my doctor has said they are regulated and the only difference is bulking agents. Refused to prescribe Lustral but I have found a chemist that will give them if I ask for that brand, maybe ask your chemchemist if they have the brand your used to

    I can’t help with the brand change because I’ve had been given the same brand twice now from the chemist but I think I’m on the same Timescales as you are transferred from cit to sertraline about 4 1/2 weeks ago And I’m also experiencing a little blip over the last two or three days I doubt the brand difference will make anything worse I think people just look for any change when they experience a blip and try and blame it on that we need to just write this and let it pass and we will be back on the upward trajectory

    Please don't worry about the brand. They are the same.

    If you think about it too much you will start thinking any oddness is because of that..

    Relax and carry on as you are! Good Luck!
