Hi JC and welcome to Beyondblue forums.
Its sounds like your chemist has provided a generic brand of the medication you've been on for some years. They will often ask whether you prefer to stick to the brand name or are happy to get a generic brand when you drop your script off for filling. The active ingredients in the generic brand is the same as the brand name medication, but it often comes under a different name. But the label on your medications will likely say something like "same as .......".
Given that the active ingredients in the medication is the same as what you've always been on, its highly unlikely that the generic brand is the cause of your recent symptoms. I dont know whether fish oil has any affect of reducing the absorption of your other meds? You could perhaps ask your chemist about that.
But as far as the ADs go, I would suggest you speak to your GP about that. Sometimes when we are on ADs for quite some time, they may not be as effective as they once were. Your GP may suggest a review by a psychiatrist, or they may prescribe an alternative AD or perhaps try an increase in the existing.
I hope it all works out well for you.
Amanda
