Switching from Generic Sertraline to Lustral (Zoloft)

Hi everyone,

For the past five years I have been taking Sertraline 100mg for OCD. It has been working fine for me and I have been symptom free.

My pharmacist normally gives me the Millpharm Generic version of Sertraline, but he recently gave me Lustral (Zoloft) 100mg.

I have been taking Lustral for the past two weeks and although I don't have any OCD symptoms, I am definitely feeling more anxious.

I have raised this to my GP but he has advised continue taking Lustral.

Has anyone experienced any effects going from a generic SSRI to a brand SSRI?

Thank you.

Mike
