REPORT

For last few months, I was on Escitalopram 20mg -mfg Accord (round pill) and was experiencing "brain zaps", which is usually a discontinuation side effect, but shouldn't be happening when you take as prescribed. The most recent pharmacy refill is Escitalopram 20mg -mfg Aurobindo (oval pill) and I have had no brain zaps so far over the last week. It is amazing how different the binding agents can be from one mfg to another! FYI- I take it for anxiety and panic attacks; age 42; medicated for over 10 years (btwn Lexapro, Citalopram & Escitalopram). Main/significant side effects have been flat-line mood, IBS, and VERY frustrating very, very low libido }:-( I never had an issue there until I started taking the anti-anxiety med, libido disappeared within a month of taking Lexapro, and has never really returned. :'-(

Hi, my name is Mark and I'm experiencing the same. My provider Kaiser changed to Mylan and it's not working for me. They said they can't special order any. Please help. {edited for privacy}

Hi Mark, The same thing happened to me. I've been taking citalopram manufactured by Aurobindo for close to 2 years. Last week, Kaiser gave me citalopram manufactured by Mylan. The citalopram manufactured by Mylan does not work on me. I learned that they have the same active ingredients but different inert ingredients. I called around to other pharmacies and discovered that Walmart pharmacy has the citalopram manufactured by Aurobindo! I had my prescription transferred and they are currently filling it. Hopefully, Kaiser gets it back soon but I have a plan if they don't. I hope this info helped you.

I had the same experience, the only one that worked for me the same as Dr. Reddys was Mylan. Good luck
