kkrrhh,
First, thanks for replying. I'm not very active on this board, and when I do post, it seems more like rants and complaining to me. I imagine people reading my posts and thinking, "Why is this guy posting this? WTF does he even want?"

I haven't tried calling around to different pharmacies about the Wellbutrin manufacturer, but that's a possibility. I get a 3-month supply at a time, so I'm stuck with what I have for a little over two months. I did some reading recently about generic meds. Anyone reading this should Google "Dr. Oz generic meds". He explains FDA regulations regarding generic meds very clearly, and it's eye-opening.

I haven't seen a doctor about my migraines because I have very little doubt that, just like most any kind of Western doctor, the first thing they're going to do is put me on yet another med. I a!ready take two meds, Wellbutrin (depression ) and L-Thyroxine (hypoactive thyroid). I was also on Lipitor (high cholesterol) and Strattera (ADD), but I've since cut those two out after conferring with my doctors. I still need some kind of ADD med, so that plus a migraine med would put me on four meds which I'd be dependent upon daily as a regularly-exercising 45 year-old man. Should my doctor want me to go back on Lipitor, that'd put me at five freaking prescription meds which seems absolutely ridiculous to me and definitely more variables than I want to deal with in this generic medication world.

As a side note, the magnesium supplement I had hoped would keep my migraines at bay wasn't effective in the end. I'm going to increase my dosage and see if it helps, but pessimistic me isn't holding out much hope. Having migraine headaches a few days in a row every 6-10 days and seeing all of my non-prescription attempts at remedying them fail is very depressing to me, but I'm going to do all I can before I put yet another medicine in my system.

Again, thank you so much for replying. It means a lot to me.
