I forgot to say that I took a variety of different generic fluoxetine capsules over the course of 10 years or so and got headaches intermittently, especially during the last two or three years. I didn't realize that the headaches were caused by it, and I assumed all generics were the same so I never paid attention to how manufacturer may have affected my symptoms, though of course in hindsight, I really wish I did. There were months where the headaches were really bad, and months when I never had any, and my pills would change color every once in a while. You'd think I'd made a connection, but I didn't. (In case you're wondering, I didn't realize until I stopped taking it completely, and the headaches went away, that it had caused them all along. I thought I had some kind of seasonal allergies since the only thing they responded to was an antihistamine.) If I knew which pills didn't give me headaches, I would've tracked them down instead of going with Par, but I didn't, so I went with it based on what a couple others said about it and the that fact that it would be easy to obtain regularly if I asked for an Rx specifying tablet versus capsule. Unfortunately, it was a headache-causing one for me.
