Has anyone else gotten scripts filled with the generics for Wellbutrin or Wellbutrin XL and the meds have had a funky smell, sometimes vinegary and sometimes a smell I just cannot describe but it is awful, overwhelming when opening the container?
The pharmacists says this is normal but I am doubting it especially given the my recent decline into depression despite being med compliant, and increasing the dose per doc, since getting these new generics that the pharmacy has switched to now. I have never had a problem with generics before as have been on it for years but I am considering asking the doc to go back to the brand name to see if there is a difference. I am also having a hard time finding research on this or even comments other than "sometimes the generics have a smell" but doesn't say if it safe; like with acetaminophen in Tylenol or Excedrin, if it smells like vinegar, it is definitely not safe. Nothing like this is indicated about generic Wellbutrin/XL's smell. Anyone else noticed this with the generic? What are your thoughts? __________________  I can be changed by what happens to me.
