I have been on accord for a while but have been told it's not available at the moment through the manufacturer so I was given milpharm which is aurobindo, just a different name. I have been forced to take these for a month saying nothing else is available and it's been awful...I spoke to a lovely pharmacist who switched me straight away to teva brand, no problems, just hope I feel better soon. It all seems very suspect to me having to keep switching and the problems this seems to cause.

hi....just wondering if you've managed to get accord brand again. I've been on teva for 3 weeks now after lupin brand then accord but still feel awful, although I was told there would be a transition period due to all the switching...absolute nightmare??

Hey Ben, I am so relieved to read this. I was taking Milpharm for the first month and starting to feel like my old self again but then the next month I was moved onto Teva and literally the next day after taking them I was all over the place, I have never experienced such emotions in my life, it was terrible. Luckily after 10 days I was able to get back onto Milpharm and I am about a week into taking these again and I am hoping things will start to level out again soon.
How are you getting on? Did you change back to Milpharm?

hi ..... had the same change in manufacture. Only taken 3 or 4, been OK, but today felt really dizzy, not sure if it's due to them or not. Do you know if the milpharm brand has been discontinued?

hi I have been on milpharm, but just given a box of Teva, had about 3 or 4 so far, but today felt very dizzy, wondering if its due to change or not. You say your ok on Teva?
