> I have been on the "previous" generic for Wellbutrin XL (bupropion)for about a year with excellent results. I am in the health care field and have always felt safe prescribing generics for my patients so I was very surprised to see my rapid response to the change in the new generic (budeprion)for this drug. It is a different chemical compound and is not chemically identical to the original drug.

> Within 2 weeks I was seriously depressed, headache and experiencing many of my specific depressive symptoms. I have now switched back to the Brand drug and am reporting my experiences with the drug to the FDA. I strongly suggest that those posting on this site do the same.I'd like to add myself to the list of unhappy people who've taken Budeprion. I had a feeling it wasn't working with recurrence of feelings of lack of motivation, decreased energy, and lack of "well-being", perhaps anxiety. I started brand Wellbutrin and there's been a definite change for the better after 2 weeks. I'm also in the health care field, and I'd love to hear from other providers who have had their patients report problems with Budeprion.
