Overthinking

Hi,
I am restarting cipralex for the third time, and for the first time ever I’m having insomnia as a side effect, which is absolutely brutal. I can only sleep 2 hours a night and I feel like a hot mess / zombie all day.
One thing I noticed was that the particular generic brand that I’ve been given (apo-escitalopram) is different from the versions I took before (name brand, teva, and oxolate) is it possible this is the reason for the new side effect? Or is it possible to get new side effects when restarting a drug you’ve used before?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
