dangerous for sure! three weeks of generic XL and the mood decline and energy drop were significant enough to have folks remind us to tell pdoc sooner than later. thank goodness the chart shows years of buproprion HCl issues and now has an entry about how patient cannot take budeprion.....NO SUBSTITUTES! Go pdoc and pharmacy...nice to have them both in our corner!
the score as follows:
zenhussy advocating for medically necessary medications!!--1
medicare forcing generics on patients--0
other generics have been non-issues for us....this one made life very slippery and scary to have a decline start so quickly after the med switch. definitely something to be aware of for those who are sensitive to certain meds.
ymmv.
here's hoping going back on name brand goes smoothly and mood returns to more up than this. fingers crossed.
