What brand of Wellbutrin SR do you take? The one I have now, has a funny smell, but I think there more than one generic manufacturers.
My endo will only prescribe Synthroid so he obviously feels there is a significant enough difference to only prescribe brand.
And when Nardil was released, most people , including myself, who had taken it before, even though it was many years ago, had significantly more side effects than they ever had. So the changes are clear when you are stable for years and the only change is to a generic version of the med and you relapse but recover when put back onto the brand.
One of the meds for hypertesnion is known for this differnce between brand and generic. There should be alot of studies but I haven't looked for any myself.
I just know it to be true from the few instance I have had with a switch from brand to generic.
Cheaper ingredients with less quality controls is part of the problem with generic.
