In reply to double the generic?, posted by Sebastian on September 26, 2004, at 14:47:05
> Anyone try 600 mg generic in place of 300 mg brand? Lately I've been taking 200 mg at a time with better results. Just have not taken more than 400. Seriously considering 3 intervals of 200 mg, just for the energy. Just wonder if there is any bad result from this. I will probably start today anyways.
This is a statistical result, and it is based on brand name Wellbutrin, but the risk of seizure is about 15 times higher at 600 mg than at 400 mg of the SR formula, or 450 of the regular stuff. The risk of seizure rises exponentially, and the maximum dose has been set solely with seizure risk as the determinant.
If you seize while driving a car, for example......
Please, do not play with larger doses of this drug. If the generic does not provide similar results to the branded drug, get the branded drug. You're playing with fire.
