Generic Zoloft Anyone?

Published

Not asking for medical advice just wondering if anyone has any experience with generic Zoloft?

I've been on Zoloft for 8 years. It has helped me to live a normal life. I know that generics are supposed to be chemically equivalent and I choose generics whenever there is a choice. I've been hearing that the generic Zoloft does not work? Psychological or Real? Thanks!

Just an FYI.....in investigating buying name brand Zoloft through a Canadian pharmacy I have discovered that the brand name Zoloft would take 4-6 weeks to be shipped to me. Gees, that's quite awhile, is it coming on a slow boat from China? Ok, I e-mail the Canadian pharmacy. What takes sooo long? "It is shipped to you from Israel under the name Daxid". Hum, Generic Zoloft, Teva brand, is crap, it is also manufactured in Israel. A coincidence?

My insurance is covering some of the cost. I still have to pay $100 per month for name brand Zoloft. When it comes to my mental health that is still a bargain. I have not given up however. I will be persuing this issue with my insurance. I would gladly take the generic Zoloft manufacturer by Greenstone (aka Pfzer) but no one seems to have it as Teva brand generic Zoloft is far cheaper for the pharmacies to buy. No surprises there.
