Mirtazapine Teva no longer available?

Treatment and medication
1

Hi Everyone,

I take 1/2 15mg (so 7.5mg) of Mirtazapine from Teva for sleep and it’s worked wonders but now no pharmacy around me carries it anymore, I have no idea what’s going on but since then I tried the same dose from a company called Apotex and I do not have the same sleep inducing effect. Desperate I’m now trying the branded version Remeron from Merck and have taken it for around 3 days and so far I feel no different compared to the Apotex version.

Feeling quite worried about this, I expected the brand Remeron to be as good or better than Teva for me, does anyone have any experience switching from generic to brand Remeron and does it take an adjustment period or something?

Anybody know why Teva is being removed from the market in the US?

Thanks.

You could try a different brand, if you do I’d recommend sticking with it for at least a week. In my case I’m happy to say that after about 4 days the brand name one did the trick.
