Take the brand and molecule which your doctor has advised in the dose mentioned. Substituting can lead less efficacious medicine. Always get a receipt for your medicines as lots of fake ones going around

First step is to inform your treating doctor and express the discomfort faced by you. Next you have to understand your preference matters and you have to convey this to the doctor. If you have already ordered Daxid, you should give it a try and it will be easy for your doctor to suggest brand in continuation phase of treatment.
Next Steps
Follow up with treating doctor.

From my experience of practice, different brands suit differently for different patients even if molecule is same. Please keep taking the brand which better suits you.

Daxid and serta both are good brands of sertraline. Still there are individual variations so one brand may not suit a particular person. Side effect can offer with any brand. If you have ordered daxid u may use it without any hesitation. For further evaluation you may consult directly on my WhatsApp number.

Daxid 50 and serta 50 are both brands of sertraline. If Both are genuine products containing sertraline then if side effects occurred with serta then it should have happened with daxid. Further elaboration of side effects needed. Also for what diagnosis you are taking that is important. At start sertraline may worsen anxiety symptoms.also dose should be lower at start of treatment and should be gradually increased to avoid abdominal symptoms...
