Gary19610,

Some people do feel unwell with changes of brand. Ask your pharmacist to supply you with the make you feel best on. If s/he is uncooperative ask for the prescription form to be returned and take it elsewhere.

Yep with you there. Unless the brand is named they can fill the prescription with any brand. I asked my pharmacist to only use one brand & he was very accommodating. One thing I would say is give your pharmacy a few days to get the right one for you, they can then order it in if they're running low on your preferred one.

Which brand seam to suit you. I'm a 46 year old male. And feel worse on the levo trying to up to 75 mg put struggling. Mentioned brands to Dr, seam to think should not make much difference. I take box with blue and round 25.
