UK sertraline generic brands?

Posted , 2 users are following.

hi

currently on 75mg sertraline and everytime I get a new prescription (monthly) I get a different brand, whatever's out there in the market apparently. anyone had issues with different sertraline brands or the irregularity of the medication? I am sure I had a problem with accord pregabalin once so stick with lyrica now.

    Don't get me started on generic antidepressants,one of my greatest annoyances. Had so much trouble on generic Citalopram years ago,to cut a long story short,I came off them and became seriously ill. All SSRI antidepressant drugs are now generic compared to when I first was prescribed Sertraline in 1991,when it first came out. Took all the branded SSRI'S until generic Citalopram and that's when my problems with these drugs started. Make sure you stick with one brand and everything will be OK.
