switching to generic pill--side effects?
| Thu, 07-01-2004 - 1:46pm |
i was taking the low oral pill called levlite for 2 months. i then got a refill and started a new month's pack but it was the generic, lessina. i feel like i just started a brand new pill altogether, am having the same side effects, cramps, bloating, moodiness, etc. its nothing awful but can defintely tell. considering both name brand and generic pills are suposed to be the same, why am i having side effects? anyone else experience this?

It's not unusual to have side effects when switching pills, even between a brand and its generic. A generic is required to have 'therapeutic equivalence' to the brand but not be exactly like it so there can be some very slight differences. I hope you are feeling better soon.
Good luck,
