My doc told me for SSRIs not to switch brands, I don't understand who those survive who have to switch all the time. Have tried some generics that was my med's evil twin.

Where I live it is a secret how much alike meds must be to be seen as equal. In USA there are numbers, like so and so many percent of the active substance must be in your blood after taking either. What is seen as equal differs so much that the lowest is near half of the highest amount.

If you're stable on an SSRI you might fall ill if you change brands, due to over or undermedication. And my doc said that, not me.
