Hi all I have been on Sertline roughly 5 months and always had White tablet'(s).......
BUT however this week after picking up my latest new pack......the following morning coming to start my new pack erm well they were Blue? WHY? Are they the same ? But different colour? Why says nothing in the leaflet does any one know why they have 2different colours? Although I have felt extremely tired come later on in the afternoon?!.
Anyone know why they have different colours?
Hi Shelly
I remember one month i had that brand (forget the name) they seemed ok for me although i do get different results from different brands. Last month i had " Crescent Pharma" in pink box noticed a big difference in my mood and anxiety levels so much so i changed to different brand half way through
Hi Paul Thankyou for your reply...
it says nothing in the leaflet about the different colours???!!.. Think I'll call into the local chemist and see a pharmacist for their opinion?!!.
im concerned as all the months I have been on Sertline always had white tablets.....while I have been taking these Blue tablets I have noticed I'm extremely tired through the afternoon......cheers for your rely.x
Hi Shelly. What mg are you taking. That makes a different in color for each mg is a different color. Just thought I would mention.
Hi Shirley I'm on 100mg?.
Was orinally on 50mg then put on 100
been o 100mg for probably 3 months if not more.......and always been white!...are they different? The leaflet doesn't stipulate this in anway?..... Thanks Shirley. X
I tried to send you a link that shows the colors of different mg of sertraline but it would not go through the moderator.
I would expect that it is a different manufacturer from the white ones, and each manufacturer uses their own binders/fillers in the tablets/capsules which can affect how you absorb the drug. That can lead to new side affects. Call up the pharmacy and ask if they just changed brands.
I had problems with the generic and asked my doctor to put brand name necessary on my prescription. I have good insurance and they pay a considerable amount of the cost and I pay the rest. Last time I got my 100mg for one month it was about $98. But it was a tremendous difference to me while others have no problem with generic. Hope you start to feel better soon. I have been on 50 for 2 weeks and 100 for 5 weeks as well. Still not all the way back to normal but my doctor is wanting to increase dose after I have been on 100mg for 6 weeks. Don't like the adjustment period when increasing doses, you start to feel bad all over again until the medicine levels out again. I would rather stay on the lowest effective dose so when the time comes to taper off, I won't have far to drop down and hopefully with the least discontinuation syndrome. Sending blessings your way!
