Hi Cam,
Actually this is a two part question :) Up until about two months ago, I was taking 1mg of brand name Stelazine 2x per day, with each of my my two doses of Dexedrine. As I am sure you are aware, the manufacturer has discontinued production of the brand name of Stelazine in Canada.
Since I have started taking the generic form, I haven't been fairing well at all. I had to stop it due to depression and lethargy. I am getting by on Amisulpride but it poops out after about two weeks.
My first question to you is, is my reaction to the generic form plausible or not? I believe my pharmacist does not believe me with regard to the differences I have noticed between the generic and the brand name of Stelazine. I believe what I am experiencing is real, however I really would appreciate your input to help put my mind at ease.
Secondly, if it is plausible that there is enough of a difference between the generic and the brand name of Stelazine to cause the problems I mentioned, I would like to know if the brand name is available in the US. I am not sure you have this particular info. If you don't, could you please point me in the right direction to find an answer to this question?
I appreciate any help you can provide!
All the best,
Michael
