Switched brands, feel awful..... Coincidence?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've been on 125mg of sertraline for a couple of months now. It has always been from aurobindo, but last week when I picked a new prescription I received a different brand, sandoz. I started taking these since yesterday morning and have been feeling lightheaded, nauseous and worse than before. Could it be that I have to get used to a different brand?

    Doctors will say no, they are regulated and I have experienced this myself but pharmacies and many users (including myself) will say otherwise.

    I personally take Lustral after being given Crescent, Teva, Aurobindo, Ativa I found a chemist who gave Lustral on a sertraline prescription but most wont due to costs (in the UK anyway)

      Yes, the switch is because of the costs, and my doctor asked me to see how I will feel the coming days. If I keep on feeling worse than before I have to call.
