"Is there any risk associated with switching brands of the very same med? Is it okay to take whatever brand you wish at any time? Is it always safe to switch from pills to tablets and back?" — @WolfHi Wolf...yes, there is. Some people (myself included) have issues with this. I make sure I get the same manufacturer each time I get my prescriptions filled. Also, yes, some people can have issues with switching between different forms of their drug. Everyone is different though, but it's good to be aware that any changes may not be tolerated well.
