Different branding = new side effects

[~*Helen*~]

Hey all,


I have been on Fluoxetine for around 2 months now, and recently had to get my prescription from a new pharmacy. This pharmacy uses a different brand of drugs and I've noticed since starting this pack that a few of my side effects have come back again. Has anyone else ever experienced this or is it all in my head? lol

Hello there

I had this issue with a previous medication and although the pharmacy reassured me that it should he the same active ingredient it most definitely gave me different side effects. Can you speak to your chemist to get them to bulk order for you so that you have the same brand? Mine offered to do this once I mentioned it. Take care
