Hey. I posted below about generic vs. brand and found out the FDA is investigating the generic brands of Wellbutrin again:

http://www.pharmalot.com/2008/09/fda-to-review-generic-wellbutrin-again/

That was last year, so I don't know if anything has been done since.

I went out today and bought 15 pills of 150 mg. of the brand, the Wellbutrin SR. It was $40 at Rite-Aid with a 20% discount. I called all the pharmacies around and that was the cheapest. I had taken the brand version years ago-it worked great. I switched to the generic when it came out because of insurance, and I went downhill. Others swear the same thing has happened to them.

In some ways Wellbutrin is my last hope. I just had to try the brand again-for myself-to see if there really was a difference. I'll let you all know if it works this time. I'm thinking its not going to make a difference, but can't move on to something else until I tried this experiment.

But why would this be? I've never had an issue with generic drugs before. I'm not into conspiracy theories, but the only thing I can conclude is that either 1) Glaxo Smith withholds a deviation/component of the drug's chemistry and it is not replicated 100%; 2) the coating on the generics/the fillers used or 3) someone at Glaxo started a rumor about the generic version.

Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
