Hi Willow, welcome to the forums!

Bupropion is Wellbutrin, technically it's Bupropion hydrochloride. I don't think it's available in a straight generic version yet but I could be wrong, I haven't taken it in quite a long time. I believe I heard somewhere that a name brand has to be on the market for ten years before it's eligible to become a generic, but I definitely could be wrong. And I think I also heard that because WB was re-marketed as Zyban for smokers, that's delaying the process even longer. But if it's not available generically, what you should be able to do is have your doctor write on your prescription "Do Not Substitute", and then your insurance should support it's purchase at the lowest possible rate. I have that issue with my Ambien and as long as my doctor writes that on my rx, I get it at the generic rate. You might want to call your insurance company to double check with them, but I'm pretty sure you'll be OK.

Again, welcome!
