I was on Wellbutrin name brand when the first generic came out. I switched to the generic, and it didn’t work nearly as well as the brand. I think that formulation eventually got pulled from the market, and today’s generics are much better/closer to the brand. That being said, it’s probably worth a shot to try the brand. Your doctor should be able to justify it to the insurance company. Good luck.
