Seems unlikely

I was on medication for years, so had loads of change of brand

Not on that one though

It could be anything really, especially at this time of year

It could also be something that she’s eaten

I had some kind of big histamine flare after eating peaches - I’ve eaten them before and since without any problems

I hope she feels better soon

I had one brand that didn’t suit me. I think it might have been one of the ingredients in the coating. My doctor thought I was making it up but it was a consistent issue with a particular brand.

Slightly different but over a number of years I developed a reaction to fluoxetine. Hives, itching legs. It took me ages to put two and two together but all the symptoms stopped when I came off it.

More likely a reaction to sun exposure which is exacerbated on Sertraline
