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?

I asked my close friend who is a pharmacist (+15 years) about your post. They said:

L25 is aurobinda pharmas generic

L20 is sunovians generic

Manufacturers have to provide evidence of bioevilablence to fda for approval

It sounds like your pharmacy had its generic supplier changed for some reason.

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.
