Change in Latuda/Lurasidone 20mg pills? (lemmy.world)

I just noticed the pills changed a bit, and instead of a 20 printed on one side, it's now a 25. I called the pharmacist and they said that it was changed and they don't know why.

Much more worryingly, I seem to be experiencing increased side effects since I started taking it a few days ago.

I'm curious if anyone else is taking these pills, and if you're noticing anything different?

Thank you, I really appreciate the info. I talked to my psychiatrist and she said generics can vary 10 to 20% in potency, and some people are sensitive to that, so that's likely causing the change in side effects for me.
