sounds very similar to what many have gone through on this generic.
sorry you had to endure that. how fortunate to have such positive results after returning to the namebrand Wellbutrin XL 300mg. bummer you suffered a few dismal depressed months on the generic Budeprion XL 300mg. after several years of effective medications one doesn't expect a generic to be as ineffective as a sugar pill! but for many this Budeprion XL has been just that.
somewhere in this thread is a link to FDA to report such reactions to medications (assuming you're in USA). many have reported their negative experiences w/ this generic this past year(2007).
generics can vary so widely. 4 of 6 meds in our cocktail are generics and have been for at least seven years w/o incident UNTIL this particular generic Budeprion XL 300mg back in the beginning of this year. thank goodness pdoc wrote rx for 'namebrand only-medical necessity' so the ins. co and pharmacy cannot swap out to save a few dollars at the expense of a patient's health.
glad you're back to being 'you' and the depression has been taken care of with the namebrand Wellbutrin XL 300mg.
