Citalopram Generic Manufacturerd (Top voted first)

I have been on dr reddys citalopram 5 mg for about 7 Years and have had no side effects except a bit of weight gain. Dr reddys citalopram has been discontinued and can no longer get it. I have tried generic caraco and that had bad side effects with diarrhea and burning mouth. I am now on camber. Been on for about 2 weeks. Started with a 2.5 mg and now up to 5mgs. I'm very sensitive. This change could not have happened at a worse time as there is an illness in the family and need to be strong. I feel anxious. I don't know if my mind is making me feel different or the pill change? Any thoughts? Don't know if the generics consistency is the same. Dr reddys pill and camber are different sizes camber being larger. Any thoughts?

Hello, Marie! How are you doing?

The inactive ingredients may be different.

But why did you start the new one at a lower dose? If that's what you're doing each time you take one from a new manufacturer, then some withdrawal and rebound effects may be adding to your problem.

What are the markings on the ones you're taking? That would enable me to check more information on it for you.

Hello. The citalopram 10mg pill is small round and light orange in color. The number 206 is on one side and IG on the other. I was just alternating 1/4 then 1/2 of a pill. I was feeling ok. I wanted to move up to 1/2 everyday because of the stress of the illness in family. The half everyday made me feel bad. I don't know if pills made me feel like having bad sinus pain in head with neck pain. Can you tell what the difference in the dr. Reddys pill is from the camber pills manufacturer? I have to take 3 Advil for the pain to go away....don't want to do this. Maybe I can switch to a manufacturer that is almost same make up as dr reddys. Please let me know. Marie
