Re: Generic Zoloft problems Not as effective?

In reply to Generic Zoloft problems Not as effective?, posted by DanielJ on October 6, 2006, at 8:33:57

I have been having vertigo side effects since switching to generic Zoloft. I searched and found this site because I wanted to know if the generic Zoloft was truly the same chemical makeup of the original, or if, as most who know me will tell you, I'm just nuts. I have been on Zoloft for most of the last 9 years, 200 mg per day (max recommended dosage) and have looked forward to the availability of a generic. I always have chosen generic, do not have any mental negative feelings about them, etc. But I have gone off Zoloft for short periods twice, and the vertigo is almost unbearable. The second time I decided to try going off it, it took 2 months of dosage reduction, and I still had the vertigo which took a three weeks to subside even after completely taking none. I've been having the vertigo problems and figured it must be from something else, but I looked and my generic is the TEVA which a post here stated was thought to be less effective. Based on the last 3 months and my continued vertigo (which is a very disturbing symptom) I'm convinced that it is less effective/lower dose, whatever. Even when I have gone down to 150 mg, or even 100 mg Zoloft, my vertigo would be tapered off by now (3 months) but it continues, so my hunch is that the generic is not only lower dose, but somehow different in chemical makeup. I'm going to try the generic greenstone as one post suggested and I'll let this group know of the outcome. Thanks all.
