Have never went from one to the other but got switched once to a different company make....yeiks. All I can
say is watch that some different company doesn't make your meds. I noticed the different cover on bottle
immediately and asked the druggist what it was he said 'same thing just different company'. Yeh right I was
far out on another planet in no time and seizures started to come very quickly. For myself switching from
generic to brand or other, is not as bad as trying to give me a different med only made by different company.
Same colour and everything so looked the same.

No Terry ,
I never take any generic without a doctors ok. I was switched by a store pharmacist for generic
Depekene. It was Valproic Acid. It did a good number one me only one pill, He went against my doctors and
goberment order. So I had suffered badly. So always check with the doctor as I say and if not the doctor
check with the PDR drug book online or you library.
