Hi My current dose was great but now have to start a new manufacturer.

my doctor assured me years ago my mirtazapine was the exact same ingredient no matter who the maker was.

[Cleanse28 in reply to kenster1]

Did you notice any changes?

[kenster1 in reply to Cleanse28]

no none at all he said Paracetamol at 99p or 1,99 all have the same ingredients and that goes for prescribed drugs.

Your health care provider may have a good reason for the change. It’s probably going to be for the best.

[Cleanse28 in reply to IncognitoC]

It wasn’t my provider it because that manufacturer quite making that brand.

I re-read what you said, my apologies. Although it’s a different medication I have had the same issue with ventolin for asthma I was reliant on it being ventolin but I got prescribed salumol which is the same just different name. It’s probably going to be the same for you
