Okay..now I am confused......
I know that the Budeprion I just threw away is made by Teva.....Does Glaxo do the Budeprion too??
Or is Glaxo the folks who manufacture bupropion in the Generic form as well as in the name brand? I just got my bottle of real...unadulterated-LOL- Wellbutrin and it says GlaxoSmithKline.I want to make sure that we all send our complaints and feedback to the right manufacturer.
kowlagirl - I did the same thing as you with respect to telling my doc's assistant that I am severly allergic to Budeprion. Come to find out he wrote the scrip for Wellbutrin...my pharmacy supplied it as Budeprion...I have informed them as well that I am allergic to it and that I am to get nothing but brand. Fortunately for me I have excellent insurance through my hubby so I can do that without a huge financial penalty. Once he retires I will try to go to Bupropion if that is necessary.Good luck to you and all of us who have suffered at the hands of Teva!!!
I have only been on brand for 2-1/2 days..I am going to go back to twice a day on Saturday and see what happens. When my doc bumped me to 300 a day and it was budeprion I thought I was gonna crawl outta my skin.
You also hit a nerve when you said that you had been in a place where you weren't truly caring about what your family - mom specifically was going through - I have been there too only I didn't associate it with this stupid drug.
It is more than stupid it is truly harmful!And the weight gain depressed me even more than I was depressed before I took anything! Granted some of my weight may be a part of the "time of life" i'm starting but not the amount I have put on in 3 months! hopefully changing meds and going back to Weight Watchers will get me back to a reasonable place.
Thank you for your input and thread....I haven't been getting the feedback or response to my queries about this subject....maybe your thread will bring more.
I wish all us well!
