Anyone else made this switch? What were you're experiences?
I was taking 300mg of Bupropion HCL (Welbutrin) - 200 in the morning and 100 at noon. I asked my pdoc if there was something I could take just one time per day, so I'm trying out taking 300mg of Budeprion XL in the morning. It has only been a week so I'm not sure if it is too soon to see any change. However, I felt a little nausious (please don't be the flu) and I have less energy/more depression. My pdoc says that people have reported that Budeprion XL doesn't work as well as the name brand Wellbutrin XL. I'm going to try the generic for a month and if it doesn't seem to be working pdoc says I can switch to the name brand. |

My psychiatrist only prescribes name brand Wellbutrin because of problems he's seen with the generics. Something about the different fillers that are used. In fact, my husband's psychiatrist does the same thing with him.

I have tried a number of generic drugs because my health plan was charging so much for the brand names. I found that the brand names were far superior in their effectiveness than the generics. good luck. phoenix47
