Is it worth trying another brand of my medication?

I’m on olanzapine. Is there a chance I will feel a difference from another brand?

I take olanzapine actavis, because i get it for free. Previously I tried escitalopram original and generic, I could actually feel the difference

The original zyprexa is more heavy than generics. I don’t know if there are other generics in our country, I have always gotten the same one.

@Mr_Hope Are you going to try out karxt or ulotaront when they come out in our country? Might take a while though…

Brand name Risperdal is a bit too potent for me.
I prefer the generics

I once had a doctor that said I could only have brand name Geodon. I saw no difference between that and the generics but you never know until you try.

Don’t know because of the sleep issues from olanzapine. I need something sedative to replace it. My first plan is to make the switch to seroquel, or possibly risperidone. Those are my best options for sleep.
