I know they have the same active ingredient, but are they EXACTLY the same?

I often wondered how the hospital I used to work for could have a non smoking program and use zyban. What about employees who couldn't handle the anxiety? It made me appear manic. at only l50mg. Love Phillipa

Everybody reacts differently. As for all ADs, godsent for some, rat poison for others.

> /MattiasCompletely to the best of my knowledge except for perhaps amount taken, although I think even that was the same. And neither of which are of any consequence now because they're generic, but for those who couldn't afford the copay on Wellbutrin or when Wellbutrin was first out and insurance companies were charging higher premiums, Zyban was prescribed offlabel for depression in a roundabout manner. I am not quite sure how this strange marketing idea got by the FDA, but equally odd things have happened.
