I started out on brand name prozac, then switched to generic.
I currently take fluoxetine manufactured by Sidmak, but I switch pharmacies enough that I've tried a lot of different generics.
I can't tell any difference between name brand and generic (except in price).
I must be very sensitive to prozac. With both generic and name brand I start to notice a change in the way I feel at 3 days (sweaty palms and feet, vivid dreams, profound sensitivity to caffeine, and change in taste and smell). I've started and stopped this drug enough to know and it's 3 days. On day 7-8 the anxiety kicks in, then about day 14 it levels off and I feel better - more aware, less fatigued and just clearer. I usually start to whistle (isn't that odd).
Seldom.
