Is Teva sertraline/generic sertraline equivelant to Pfizer Zoloft?
Well, this makes all the sense in the world (if it is true?- wonder how I find out?)
Honey has been on this Teva form of sertraline and I think she is having withdrawal symptoms... well, it is not our imagination and I am not going to blame my poor pill cutting skills anymore. The above link is to a message board - a conversation others are having on the difference between Teva sertraline, Greenstone sertraline (greenstone being a Pfizer subsidiary) and Pfizer Zoloft. There are 379 comments concerning this issue. Most of them in agreement that something is wrong with the generic form- that they are having symptoms of withdrawal (though many of them dont know what is happening to them)
I also found some interesting thoughts here
and here at crazymeds.org on generic vs. brand.
Well, I think I have resolved one issue- Honey is in withdrawal and it is because of the freaking drug (teva form of sertraline)
So now, wonder what I do?
Do I continue with 37.5mg doses?
I have no idea what she has been getting. But yes, she needs to get stable again.
This is my plan (if we get what we need from the doctor today):
(But wondering now if doctor can give me a mix of these two forms of zoloft?)
oral concentrate form of zoloft
I also plan to ask for a script for 25mg Zoloft cialis – hoping for a couple weeks worth. Honey would take 1.5 of these tablets. I know it is going to be a short wait for the liquid (if she gets it) since it is not stocked where I plan to go for her rx. (It wasn’t stocked regularly anywhere around here). I am done with Teva. So she will need tablets until the liquid is available for us. I thought about this-
Tablets until liquid is ready then:
1 tablet and 12.5mg of the liquid (.62ml- haven’t quite figured it out yet) for a couple days, then ½ tablet and 25mg of the liquid until I am out of tablets. I just feel like it should be a gradual shift from tablet to liquid.
But, what do I know… well, I guess I know I need to trust my gut.
