I FOUND THIS WEBSITE WHILE LOOKING UP GENERIC WELLBUTIN XL AND HAVE BEEN READING THESE POSTS FOR AWHILE AND THOUGHT I WOULD POST MY EXPERIENCE. I USED TO TAKE WELLBUTIN SR ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO, THE NAME BRAND. I USED IT FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HAD NO ILL EFFECTS.
LAST APRIL(06) I WENT BACK TO MY DR BECAUSE I WAS HITTING ROCK BOTTOM WITH NO ENERGY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK WELL. HE PUT ME ON EFFEXOR XR AND THIS STUFF DID NOTHING FOR ME. WHEN I TRIED TO GET OFF OF IT, I HAD REAL HORRIBLE WITHDRAWL SYMPTOMS. I WAS ON IT FROM APRIL THROUGH NOVEMBER OF 06. WELL, I HAD ASKED FOR WELLBUTRIN AND THE DR SAID EFFEXOR WAS BETTER. NO WAY!
SO AFTER SUFFERING FOR A FEW MORE MONTHS, I WENT BACK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND TOLD HIM TO GIVE ME WELLBUTRIN AGAIN. I STARTED OFF ON 75MG OF THE NAME BRAND FOR ONE WEEK. THEN I WENT TO 300 MG ONCE A DAY. SINCE I HAVE NO INSURANCE, I WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO GET THE GENERIC WELLBUTRIN XL. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT POSITIVE RESULTS. I GET UP EVERY MORNING AT 6 AM FEELING GREAT AND RESTED AND ABLE TO WORK WITH NO TROUBLE. HAVE GREAT ENERGY ALL DAY AND HAVE EVEN LOST 20 MUCH NEEDED POUNDS. MY SEXUAL DESIRE EVEN CAME BACK. THE ONLY SIDE EFFECT I HAD WAS DRY MOUTH.
SINCE I HAVE NOTICED PEOPLE KEEP SAYING THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS, I LOOKED AT MY BOTTLE AND HERE IS WHAT IS ON THE LABEL. BUDEPRION XL AND UNDER THAT IT SAYS buPROPion HCL(SPELLED LIKE THAT) AND THE MAKER IS TEVA. SO HOW CAN THERE BE TWO VERSIONS IS BOTH NAMES ARE LISTED ON MY BOTTLE? THANKS, MCLSCOTTS
