In reply to Generic Zoloft problems Not as effective?, posted by DanielJ on October 6, 2006, at 8:33:57
> My son has schizophrenia, he has been taking Zyprexa and Zoloft for three years. 2 weeks ago our Pdoc said generic Zoloft was available here so I went to Sam's and gave them our scrip.. I expressed my doubts about the generic version because I had read of problems with it. The Pharamacist was helpful and told me he could do a partial refill for a test.
> We started it right away and before long he seemed more angry and volatile than usual. After 2 weeks my wife and I both agree that somthing has changed. We are putting him back on regular Zoloft to see if he improves. We will keep you postedMy mother felt that the generic was less effect as well. We spoke to our psychiatrist about it, and according to him their are currently two pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the generic version of Zoloft. Greenstone manufactures Zoloft for Pfizer in addition to manufacturing generic sertraline (Zoloft). Ask for Greenstone if you decide to go with the generic version, as it's the same product only it's not as expensive. The other pharmaceutical company is israeli according to my psychiatrist, I believe the name is Teva or sommething like that. The pills are larger. This is what my mother was given, as well as your son I would assume.
