There are a few manufacturers. Find one that is reliable and has a good supply record. Crossing over takes some time to do so safely. This is the recommended procedure: Crossover It is preferable to stay with the same manufacturer of your drug because the active ingredient and filler does vary slightly and can cause withdrawal. Sometimes this is unavoidable. Also, at some point, you may wish to change from tablet/capsule and transition to liquid. Crossover is best done from a stable state especially when going from tablet/capsule to liquid. This is the safest way to do either crossover. For 4-7 days, ¼ of your dose of the new manufacturer or liquid/ ¾ of your dose in the regular form. For 4-7 days, ½ of your dose of the new manufacturer or liquid/ ½ of your dose in the regular form. For 4-7 days, ¾ of your dose of the new manufacturer or liquid/ ¼ of your dose in the regular form. Full dose in the new form. If at any stage, withdrawal symptoms show up, hold till they subside then proceed with the schedule. Edited February 13Feb 13 by LostinCanada I am not a medical professional.
