Hi all,

About 5 weeks ago I began on 50mg Sertraline, I believe the brand was Crescent. About  3-4 weeks in I began feeling much better. I then had a conversation with my GP 4 weeks in and she recommended increasing the dose to 75mg a day. As I had run out of my 1 month supply by that point, I was given 2 months worth of sertraline from my GP. The pharmacy gave it to me, but I noticed that it was a different brand (Medrech). I thought nothing of it, because surely it must all be the same?

&amp;#x200B;

I've been on the higher dose (75mg) on the new brand for around 2 weeks now, but I have to say that my anxiety symptoms are nowhere near as stable as when I was feeling good on the 50mg 4 weeks in. I have night sweats, i'm more irritable, and I have an elevated heart rate at around 4am in the morning for no discernible reason.

&amp;#x200B;

My question therefore is whether this is to do with A) the increase in Sertraline dose or B) The change of brand? If it could be the change of brand, do I go back to my previous brand or do I just stick with the new one from here on in?

Thanks :)
