Yes I had 2 packets in October and November last year I went into uncontrolled withdrawal symptoms and ended up having three weeks off with work related stress. I have accepted voluntary redundancy from work as a result.

It took me maybe 3-4 days to feel better once I got my old prescription back. The severe drowsiness is gone. Night sweats and confusion gone. I feel great. I can workout and am working on removing the belly I gained on the Mylan. That said, I always do everything I can to help a prescription work. I drink a lot of water, work out, and eat well.

I'm so glad I came across this thread. I've been on citalopram for about 3 years and have had wonderful results. My depression and anxiety were pretty much gone. 2 weeks ago I picked up my prescription to find they looked different. I called the pharmacy because that had never happened before. They told me they had just changed the manufacturer, so I thought nothing of it and started taking the meds. In hindsight now I realize I started feeling more anxious around that time. But now, 2 weeks into taking them, I'm a complete mess. Panic attacks, feeling of severe dread, crying and depressed. Back to where I was 3 years ago before starting meds. I was dumbfounded until I remembered my med had changed. Started googling and found this! I just called my pharmacy (Walmart) and told them what happened. The pharmacist told me I shouldn't be feeling this way because the ingredients are the same, regardless, he said he had some of my old pills and would fill them for me today. My question is, how long until I start feeling normal again? Will the other polls have to build back up in my system for a while like when you first start taking them? Thanks for any responses!

Yes, but mine is the opposite. I took Amneal for 7 years, and tried Mylan, and it was like I wasn't taking anything at all. I felt horribly anxious, agitated, sweaty and shaky.

Yes. I used to take Amneal CItalopram (for 7 years) and my pharmacy changed the manufacturer to Mylan. I had a bad reaction. Basically, it was like I had missed 4 or more doses. I felt agitated, shaky and sweaty and just generally unwell. My pharmacy was able to order the last of it from another place but said they (and everyone else) would be unable to continue to get it as Amneal was bought by someone else and so they have stopped manufacturing it. I am going to try Aurobindo and hope I don't have the same reaction. It is unique to each person, so what might work for me, may not work for you. All you can do it keep trying other manufacturers until you find one that works, but it's scary.

Been on Amneal for a year and became a "normal" person. In late October 2015 Walgreens (US) switched me from Amneal to Mylan. In the past four weeks i've started night sweats, sleeplessness, unpredictable bouts of anxiety, mindless eating, brain fog. Having trouble checking my child's multiplication but I'm great at math. My family watched me try to order a fast food meal... I meant to order my usual meal, but I accidentally ordered something entirely different and became confused about what I received. I am now often forgetful and can't think. I got lost driving in traffic near home. I am a confused, sweaty, zombie. Today I called around, turned in the Mylan and got the Amneal back. Hope it works to undo the crazy.

Yes I am
Having the same issue. Have been taking the oval IP citalopram for years and it worked great for me. Walgreens just switched to the MX32, manufacturer Mylan, the round tablet and I have been very emotional ever since.

I was taking citalopram 40mg with the manufacturer Aurobindo. Since my insurance changed the manufacturer is Camber and I am not doing well with it. I have called 8 pharmacies in town and none of them use Aurobindo. I just left a message with the manufacturer to find out if they are even making it anymore

Things have settled down a bit for me. I feel
more like myself except I am not on an even keel a lot of the time. I didn't even know you could look for another manufacturer. Thanks for that. I hope you feel better soon.

I have taken citalopram for over ten years. About a month ago I changed insurance and started getting it from a different manufacturer. Earlier this evening I was sitting on the couch wondering what is wrong with me. I have been depressed, anxious and self-conscious. For some reason I thought about the change in my medication and decided to google it which is how I saw this thread. The new manufacturer is Camber Pha and I am trying to find out what the old one was so I can try to switch back. Thank you for helping me. I feel a lot better knowing I'm not going crazy

The pharmacist at Duane Reade told me about the change.

The change I experienced felt like the drug wasn't longer working initially. Then it seemed to reset with the side effects ( dry mouth, etc) which I had when it first started. It seems okay now , at least do far.

I have felt horrible after they switched me from Amneal to Mylan. I have headaches,chest pains,lighted headedness and vision has been crazy. Now no one is carrying this manufacture. I'm at a loss!

I just renewed my prescription for Celexa and was informed that the manufacturer had changed. It is hard to describe, but I don't feel the same with this drug. I am having rapid mood shifts. Is anyone else having this problem?

The other way around for me. The Amdeal Citalopram worked great. They changed me to the Auribindo, which didn't work at all--and I gained 8 pounds over the past few months! I am trying to see if I can find the Amdeal again. Funny how they work for some and not for others.

I have had to call pharmacies to see if they carry citalopram from the aubro company. I've been lucky so far, so hopefully it will stay available. After I couldn't get the citalopram brand, I found if I took half a pill more of the aubro brand that it was better, so I've continued to do that and feel great.
