"Crashed on generic"

A review of Smithkline Beecham Pharmaceuticals by Anonymous - Thursday 7th of September 2006

Advertisements

Twice my pharmacy inadvertently gave me generic eskalith CR and twice my mood dropped out of the comfortable range and I became depressed. As soon as I discovered the mistake, I reported it to my doctor who repeated that the brand-name must be used. Within a week of resuming the brand name Eskalith CR, my mood went back into the healthy range for me. I am a psychotherapist. I went 30 years without an accurate diagnosis. For the past 10 years, I have been highly functioning on this medication at the level of 450mg. per day.

Is there a way to continue on Eskalith CR brand name?
