just the other day, using the generic name
BUPROPION. You can also procure it in its
(identical) anti-smoking form ZYBAN
(which has been available for a yr now). If
nothing else (I've only been on it 2 wks) it
reverses the Prozac-induced lethargy.

Whoah.
Careful.
The Generic is Immediate Release, Zyban is Sustained
Release. That's important. If you ask for generic
Bupropion, you'll get immediate release (cuz there
is no generic for Wellbutrin *sr*), but if you
ask for Zyban, you'll get the identical pill to
Wellbutrin *SR*.Luck...
slPS I suppose I should mention that most people
respond better to the SR, due to the less-extreme
peaks and troughs of med in the bloodstream. So
if you have a choice you probably want to try
the SR FIRST. But if you're just a non-responder
(without bad side-effects) to SR, try Immediate
Release before you give up. :)
