Im on actavis and i did mixed wockhardt and actavis together due to the pharmacy giving them to me.then I suffered from nausea.. so how do we find out if another make would suit a person ?? If we shouldn't really mix..eg....could i use my wockhardt to see if it feels better for a few days ?? ( only thing i seem to notice is sinse being on actavis i feel like my neck is restricted which comes and goes but im told that could he due to being under medicated)

Trial and error. Choose a brand, make up the daily dose you need by cutting the tablet or alternating dose. If no adverse reaction then stick with it for a few weeks, I would go with 6 weeks. Note how you feel.

Then do the same with the other brand.

I think you would know pretty soon if you had a reaction to any of the excipients.

Morning , only thing I can add is that Wockhardt has the least amount of fillers so I have settled on that one, having had issues with Actavis and Mercury Pharma. Good luck
