> I take 100mg of Zoloft and have found consistent relief and predictable side-effects (such as mild gastro.) Well, I have been feeling a relapse of axitey symptons this month, along with a noticable absence of gastro side effects. I've been thinking to myself, what is going on? This morning I took a closer look at my Zoloft tablets. Guess what? A generic substitute, and my phamacist didn't even mention it. Apperently Teva makes nice sandles, but drugs are not thier forté. Kidding, I hope.
I have had mishaps with generics, drug interactions, dosages, inappropriate prescribing, you name it; i think that what you see in the medical field may be just a partial reflection of a marketing world in transition. Having a computer is a real luxury today. Unfortunately, some people still think it's the devil's right hand (apologies for the Steve Earle ref.).
At least this mishaps is to your advantage. And to give the pharmacist the benefit of the doubt, the generics *are* said to be identical to non-.
