Different brand of citalopram

A few days ago I got my prescription of 20mg citalopram. The tablets look different from the last lot I had(same pharmacy). I’ve felt so weird since taking it! Shaky, anxious, nauseous. Could the brand change have done this? They must be slightly different? Haven’t felt like this since I started taking it 2 years ago

My pharmacist told me different brands can't cause those symptoms. He said they are exactly the same, made in the same place for different companies.
I had the same worries for my ADs but he said it was probably my anxiety, not the meds

I spoke to a pharmacist in boots today and he says that, yes there can be slight variations in different brands.
Who knows then. Seems like a bit of a coincidence if it’s nit the tablets...
I’ve felt better today. Hoping tomorrow it’s better again...
Thanks for taking the time to reply limensoda x

I have different brands quite regularly but havnt noticed any difference

I seem to remember every time I have a different brand, I feel ‘off’. Not sure how I’d go about making sure I get the same ones every time? My usual pharmacy seems to get random ones in
