Has anyone taken Elivel to treat depression?

Elivel  - This is what the Elivel tablets look like.

I have taken Zoloft for along time no but when they came out with the generic form (I believe was called Sertraline) the pharmacy began giving me that! I noticed that it just doesnt work as well as the brand name Zoloft does. I take a large dose of zoloft. My doctor said he didnt think my medical assistance would cover the cost of the brand name so instead he wrote a different prescription for me called Elivel. I am so tired I keep falling asleep. I will be happy once my body gets used to it and I wonder be so exhausted. I am breast feeding and the doctor says everything goes through the breastmilk anyway so its ok for me to take it. It makes me nervous to switch to another medication I've never used before. I read on the internet that this medication can be taken up to 3 times a day. Thats weird I love as with Zoloft I took 150 mg in the morning together. I also read that side efects are dizziness, Drowsiness, Confusino, constipation, difficulty urinating, dry mouth amd weight gain. Has anyone on mylot ever used Elivel and had any of these symtoms or more. I want to be prepared for what lies ahead with this medication.

Nope. Sorry to hear about that, though. Hope you feel better.
