I am so confused! So, I have been on Sertraline (Zoloft generic) for about a year. They kept swithing me from the Teva manufactured Sertraline to the Greenstone manufactured Sertraline. I thought they were all the same and didn't think much of it. Then I was on the Greenstone Sertraline for 3 months straight and started feeling anxious again. I put 2 and 2 together and the next refill that I had, I asked them to switch me back to the Teva brand. I very quickly started feeling better with this generic. But I had a thought....if I felt 50% better with the Greenstone generic, 85% better with the Teva brand, maybe I would feel 110% better if I tried the name brand Zoloft! Seemed to make sense, right? So, I asked my psychiatrist about switching to name brand and she had no problem with it. It was extra money that I would have to pay, but who cares if it helps, right? So yesterday was my first try at the brand name Zoloft. I have felt fine, about the same as the Teva generic. Until now, I am starting to feel very spacey. I just want to stare off into space. This is not good when I am suppossed to be working. What do I do now?? I thought that the brand was suppossed to be the best kind! Is it too soon to tell? Am I over-reacting? And, why the heck didn't any of my doctors tell me that their were different generics and never offered me the brand? I am so confused and quite angry! Any advice or opinions would help! Thanks!
