Sertraline question
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi.
is anyone else having difficulty getting sertraline ( Teva) brand on prescription in the U.K.
iv been told that my surgery can not get them because of manufacturing problems.
I started off with aurobino manufacturer which I had problems with
now they going to put me on another one
just wondered if it's worth phoning different chemist myself or take their word that they carnt get hold of the make I want
thanks

Hi Julie, I am sorry to hear that you had problems with different brand. Every time I pick up my medication it's from different manufacturer.
I didn't realise any problem, but if you have try to talk to pharmacy.

Thank you for replying.
the second lot I seemed to have less effects, or maybe coincidence that the side effects had started to subside anyway, I don't know,
but if I carnt get the brand I want I will have to give the others ago.
they are slightly different in ingredients,
got 2 weeks left of the ones I like so it gives me time to ring round

I didn't until after I finished the first ones, and a day after starting the second I seemed to in proof and had less side effects. So I wrote down the ingredients of both, that's when I noticed the difference,
others have said on here the prefer one manufacturer to another.
i don't hold out much hope by what the receptionist told me

Bless you, hope your side effects arnt to bad.
I have health anxiety and it's the last thing I needed is to worry about if the next lot are going to cause me problems.
Hope you get on ok.

Good morning Natalie.
I seem to be ok at the moment on the Teva manufacturer of
sertraline, but I am going to phone them direct to see if I'm not
being fobbed off, I don't want to change from something iv
settled on.
What bloods did you have done,
Mine came back abnormal first time then. Then 2 weeks later had the same bloods done, and was OK, the liver ones showed a bit high but she said that just could be my normal liver reading.
The other was to do with my white blood cells, they were high to
that's a sign the body is fighting an infection, that came back OK
on the second blood tests. Don't worry about your bloods could
be to do with medication or if your anxiety was high or being
dehydrated.
I'm 56 and on hrt due to a hysterectomy when I was 42 and now
after nearly 15 years on one hrt she want to put me on another,
carnt win x

Hi Kathy.
Don't worry if your getting on with those it's that the Teva brand
suits me best, everyone is different.
Hope you are doing well

Do you drink plenty of water,
some bloods can show high if you are dyhdrated, and raise bp
i also put mine down to having acid Refux bad and the osteoporosis being
Inflamed so before I went for 2 weeks I drank plenty of water and stayed off the things that flare up the reflux,
Ano it's easy to say but please try not to worry.
Have you got a family who you can talk to about your fears??
My partners been a good listener even if he got fed up with me droning on he didn't show it.
Im hear if you need to talk x
